food tank
Some people don’t have enough food, while others are eating too much. There’s
only one way to fix this problem—and it starts with you and me. Food Tank is for
the 7 billion people who have to eat every day. We will offer solutions and
environmentally sustainable ways of alleviating hunger, obesity, and poverty by
creating a network of connections and information for all of us to consume and
share. Food Tank is for farmers and producers, policy makers and government
leaders, researchers and scientists, academics and journalists, and the funding
and donor communities to collaborate on providing sustainable solutions for our
most pressing environmental and social problems. As much as we need new thinking
on global food system issues, we also need new doing. Around the world, people
and organizations have developed innovative, on-the-ground solutions to the most
pressing issues in food and agriculture. Through years of field visits (and
years of trying to eat better in her own community) our President Danielle
Nierenberg has helped to highlight and promote these best practices. Today, we
hope to bridge the domestic and global food issues by highlighting how hunger,
obesity, climate change, unemployment, and other problems can be solved by more
research and investment in sustainable agriculture. Food Tank highlights hope
and success in agriculture. We feature innovative ideas that are already working
on the ground, in cities, in kitchens, in fields and in laboratories. These
innovations need more attention, more research, and ultimately more funding to
be replicated and scaled-up. And that is where we need you. We all need to work
together to find solutions that nourish ourselves and protect the planet.
