What’s Next for Global Food Security

ACDI/VOCA and partners recently dug into the topic of global food security in the Feeding Development campaign hosted by Devex.

The campaign reached more than 10 million unique users on Twitter and generated over 7,000 tweets using #FeedingDev—roughly 5 tweets per minute.

But what’s next for food security? How do we take the momentum created over the past few weeks and move it into real action?

Find out more and join the conversation.
