We are calling on you to take action in the days running up to World Food Day. Each day counting down to October 16, we will issue a daily challenge as part of our A Billion for a Billion campaign and the ONE Campus Challenge. 

This year, the combined impact of the global food and financial crises has pushed the number of the world’s hungry past one billion for the first time. At the same time, there are more than a billion people - with access to the Internet - who can be part of the solution (if you’re reading this, you’re one of the online billion!)

You can help.

In the days leading up to World Food Day, we’re counting down with one easy online action a day that you can take to raise awareness about one billion hungry worldwide!

The World Food Day Action Countdown is the result of a joined initiative between the Billion for a Billion campaign (calling for the online billion ot help the hungry billion) and the ONE Campus Challenge (that invites university students to take part in the fight against hunger for credits).
