The FAO announces an international drawing and video contest
The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)announced a new global video and poster contest. The FAO is asking the world’s children to help it highlight how climate change is making the task of feeding a growing world population all the more challenging – and what we can all do, together, to meet that challenge.
The number of people on the planet is expected to grow to over 9 billion by 2050, and FAO estimates that global food production will need to increase by 60 percent to keep up with all the new mouths to feed. Meanwhile, the world’s small scale and family farmers — who produce much of the food we eat — are among those being hit hardest by higher temperatures, droughts, and weather related disasters associated with climate change.
