WHY International

Our Vision:

A world free of poverty in which all people have secure livelihoods and access to food from a just and sustainable food system.

Our Mission:

To work toward real community food security that provides access for all to a safe, culturally acceptable and nutritionally adequate diet. To develop resources and build communication linkages between food security networks nationally and internationally. To promote the basic right to food worldwide and support global movements for food sovereignty, sustainable livelihoods and equitable access to land, water and credit.

International Program In Perspective:

WHY's International program works through the United Nations and international civil society networks to link WHY's domestic work to broader global movements for food sovereignty, fair trade, land reform and environmental justice.
