Securing Food And Water For All People
The problem of securing food and water for all people has never been one of scarcity - but one of access. Even with the recent rises in global food prices and population, there is enough for all, within the means of all. The fact that so many religious and spiritual traditions use food and water as key elements of their most significant observances testifies to their inherent recognition of this basic human need. The 2009 Parliament will explore how this ancient
link between food and spirituality can inspire all of us to make this human need a human right. Come learn what people of goodwill around the world are doing to translate this commitment into realily and what you can do now in your own community and country to ensure that food and water flow wherever people hunger and thirst - not just from time to time, but for all time.
