Filling up at the Food Tank

Ok, so let me not make the same mistake again. The Food Tank Summit is on right now, and is being livestreamed.

Over the last 50 years, research organizations, governments, and development agencies have focused on increasing calories available per person–yet, today, nearly 1 billion people continue to go hungry and another 2.3 billion people are overweight or obese. Clearly, filling people up is not enough — we need to actually nourish them with nutrient dense crops and foods that are good for both people and the planet.
