A series of unique opportunit=es will take place at Harvard University for students, fa=ulty, staff and members of the community to learn from th=se experts and others about the serious situation of glob=l food security.</p> <p>On April 24, a unique interactive Fa=m Journal Foundation HungerU mobile exhibit will be in th= courtyard area outside of the <a name="www_hks_harvard_edu_" href="ht=p://links.mkt1447.com/ctt?kn=2&ms=NDg1MTE0OTkS1&r=MTY0MjcwNDUxNzcS1&=0&j=NjYyODQzNDk0S0&mt=1&rt=0" target="_blank" >Harvard Kennedy =chool</a> from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The exhibit encourages pe=ple to learn about the global hunger challenge and solutions = for feeding the world.</p> <p>There also will be a &ldquo=Take Your Seat at the Table” panel discussion start=ng at 5:15 p.m., at the <a name="www_hks_harvard_edu_news_event" href=http://links.mkt1447.com/ctt?kn=9&ms=NDg1MTE0OTkS1&r=MTY0MjcwNDUxNzc=1&b=0&j=NjYyODQzNDk0S0&mt=1&rt=0" target="_blank" >Starr Auditor=um</a>. T.J. Menn, founder of the school’s new agriculture = professional interest council, will moderate the discussion. It = will be an open dialogue about hunger and agriculture solutio=s. Panelists include Harvard’s Dr. Ray Goldberg, wh= developed the concept of agribusiness; Paul Willis, co-f=under of Niman Ranch and a pioneer in sustainability; Don=von Taves, expert in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs); and=Leena Scaria, Harvard Kennedy School student who has part=cipated in a farm tour to educate students about where fo=d comes from and the challenges agriculture faces.</p> = <p>“HungerU helps build awareness of the hunger issue and=the critical role modern agriculture plays by putting foo= on our tables,” said Tracee Shiebel, who travels w=th the exhibit as a member of the HungerU Crew. “We=encourage people to take action in their communities to h=lp meet the growing demand for safe, nutritious and afforle food.”</p> <p>Hunger and malnutrition are respons=ble for more deaths worldwide than any other cause. Even =n the U.S., one in six Americans goes to bed hungry at ni=ht. Future generations will also be faced with feeding th= exploding population, which is expected to top 9 billion=by 2050.<br /> <br /> “As a global s=ciety, we have significant nutrition security challenges,=and those are only going to get more acute as demand incr=ases and resources shrink.” said Margie Alsbrook, Director = of Operations for HungerU and its partner Farm Journal Foundation. = “Getting everyone involved regardless of their field=of study and point of view is vital to the global hunger =olution.”</p> <p>In the last two and a half years, the=HungerU exhibit has been to nearly 70 universities throug=out the U.S. and interacted with more than 175,000 studen=s.
