If a child in its first thousand days - from conception to two years old - does not have adequate nutrition, the damage is irreversible.

This isn't one of those rare diseases that we don't have the solution for. We know how to fix hunger.

There’s nothing more haunting than the cry of a child that cannot be returned with food — the most fundamental expectation of every human being.

Food is one issue that cannot be solved person by person. We have to stand together.

Every 10 seconds we lose a child to hunger. This is more than HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined.

Eighty percent of the people in the world have no food safety net. When disaster strikes — the economy gets blown, people lose a job, floods, war, conflict, bad governance, all of those things — there is nothing to fall back on.

Seize the moment – don’t wait for anyone to give you permission.
