I've grown certain that the root of all fear is that we've been forced to deny who we are.

Hunger is a people-made phenomenon, so the central issue is power: the power of those who make the decisions about what is grown and who, or what, it's grown for.

Hope is not what we find in evidence, it's what we become in action.

much agricultural land which might be growing food is being used instead to 'grow' money (in the form of coffee, tea, etc.).

I had the realization that hunger is not caused by scarcity of food, it is caused by the production system and an absence of democracy throughout the world.

Old models of farming with chemicals and credit mostly favored privileged men.

We are very much social creatures who model ourselves on one another.
