World Food Day 2010: Sign the Petition to End Hunger

World Food Day 2010 is this Saturday, October 16.

A worldwide event to raise awareness about hunger, World Food Day provides a great opportunity start alleviating hunger in your own community--share info about holistic nutrition, plan a food garden, be active. Education makes a difference!

2. Organize an outreach project on your college campus.
3. Use the World Food Day curriculum (or develop your own!) and lead a discussion with kids in your local community.
4. Plant a community food garden.
5. Share information about World Food Day and healthy nutrition with everyone you can. Talk to people!
