Keeping Global Nutrition on the Table

jennifer · June 17, 2013 · 19 Comments

USAID Impact Blog

I had the honor of contributing an article to the Feed the Future blog last Thursday. The post was also published on the USAID Impact blog. Though I did share the article on my social media channels, I wanted to post the links here as well. I hope you will visit and read more about why we should keep the topic of global nutrition on the table and a little about the innovative work of Feed the Future.

A fellow Global Team of 200 member, Julia Gibson, also contributed a great article called Filling the Bellies of Hungry Kids. Shivani Cotter wrote a piece called It’s The Silent Killer: Undernutrition.

To join the conversation about global health issues including #nutrition, follow @USAID, @USAIDGH and @FeedtheFuture on Twitter and use #GHMatters.

    It’s unbelievable to me that we live in such a wealthy country and there is still one hungry child. It is truly shameful and one of our biggest human and governmental failures.

      I agree, Jen. I think the saddest part is that we really can change the stats and we haven’t. I can only hope these open conversations will help in some way.

    Jennifer, thank you for shining light on this critical topic. Despite advances in agriculture, the numbers of the world’s hungry are increasing. There is so much we can do through science to help eliminate hunger and malnutrition. We look forward to connecting with you and spreading the word.

      I agree! I think a big part is bringing awareness, as many people don’t realize how many people are malnourished and the simple solutions that are available. I’d love to hear more about the Tomorrow Lab!

    Excellent. And honestly, we are huge supporters of feeding children…this is an issue that must be taken care of…it is our job as people to make sure no child is starving.-The Dose Girls

      Seriously. It’s a no-brainer, isn’t it? It saddens me to no end that there are children who do not have enough to eat in my own backyard.

    How exciting Jen!! I really need to get on more with the Social Good Moms so that I can be a part of the Global Team of 200. That is exactly the kind of stuff that really fuels my fire, and yet, I am burning at both ends right now! (like how I did that??) But I love reading what you are putting out there!

      Thanks, Alexa! Funny you should mention Social Good Moms because I just interviewed Jennifer James today for a future Philanthropy Friday post. Stay tuned! It’ll probably go out next week.

    Couldn’t agree with you more, Jennifer: awareness is the key! We’re fostering a global conversation on the importance and incredible potential of scientific research, driven by personal stories and social media. Thanks for your interest in science for the benefit of fighting malnutrition!
