Where hunger lives

No Comments Have your say

Where are one in three people hungry? It’s closer than you think.

Our neighbours in East Timor don’t have enough to eat. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), their hunger is as extreme as Liberia, Rwanda and North Korea.

Many of the coffee growers here earn a pittance for their produce, which sells in
New Zealand for up to 140 times the money received by the growers.
