New York — Leaders in the fight against world hunger will gather today at the United Nations to commit themselves to end hunger in our lifetime. With one in nine people in the world hungry, it is one of the most challenging problems of our time, but one that can be eliminated.

Champions from member states, international organizations, civil society and the private sector will come together at the Delivering Zero Hunger - Demonstrating Impact event to support the Zero Hunger Challenge. The Challenge, which was launched by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in June 2012, calls for bold actions so that every man, woman and child realize their right to adequate food.
