To feed our growing population, food production will have to double by 2050<\/strong><\/em>. Combating hunger is a daunting challenge considering there are currently 47 million people in the United States who go to bed hungry nightly<\/em>.<\/strong> This includes 1 in every 5 children, according to Feeding America<\/a><\/strong>. For these individuals and families, the question of “what’s for dinner tonight,” holds a much deeper meaning. It’s not about choice; it’s about survival. Access to nutritious food remains uncertain, making food security a growing global issue that demands immediate action and sustainable solutions; the kind of solutions that grant funding can help support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GrantWatch<\/strong><\/a> is helping to combat hunger and has provided a listing of grant opportunities addressing hunger. Additionally, GrantWatch has over 700 grants in its Nutrition and Food<\/strong><\/a> category of grant listings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
