Conversation about the world hunger crisis...

On Monday, October 7th and Tuesday, October 8th, the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources is inviting the University community to join the conversation about the world hunger crisis. HungerU, a special project of the Farm Journal Foundation’s Farmers Feeding the World effort, will be visiting campus to engage students in the conversation through their mobile classroom. The tour is traveling to universities up and down the East Coast and UMD was honored to be selected as a destination.
HungerU’s mobile classroom will be outside of Cole Field House (at the Farmers’ Market location) from 9am – 5pm, October 7 & 8 featuring exhibits with digital displays, interactive kiosks, and prizes. This classroom is designed as a space for discussion and engagement on global food and hunger issues and the critical role modern agriculture must play in solving them.

Hunger is the world's #1 killer. With the global population projected to expand to 9 billion people by 2050, it will be up to the leaders of tomorrow – students right here at the University of Maryland – to create innovative, sustainable solutions that meet the challenge of feeding our world.
