Hunger is most wide spread where food is grown,
in rural areas, home to 75 per cent of the world's poor. Many depend on
land for their subsistence but they don't have access to it for different
reasons. However, on the occasion of the WFD, The International Land Coalition
(ILC), a global alliance of intergovernmental, governmental and civil-society
organizations for the rural poor, remains convinced that change is possible.
Listen to Bruce Moore, Co-ordinator, Global strategy and coordination/donor
relations/resource mobilisation.
