Oxfam Fact Sheet: GROW Campaign

You might think hunger is about too many people and too little food. That is not the case. Hunger is about power. Its roots lie in inequalities to resources and opportunities.

Fact Sheet

Published: Jul 01, 2012

Publication Summary

One in seven people goes to bed hungry every night. Not because there isn’t enough food, but because of deep imbalances in access to resources like fertile land and water. The power to control these resources sits neither with the billion-plus farmers who produce food, nor with the billions of consumers who eat it.
