Enhanced Private-Public Alignment to Reduce
World Hunger

• How to Increase Private Sector Participation

Hunger is a Blight on Our Humanity

• Hunger is morally unjustifiable --
• bad for people and communities
• bad for business
• bad for peace
• Yet --- 852,000,000 people world wide are faced
  with hunger
• Can we agree on the focus of our work?

3
What is the Focus of Our Work?

• Is it a problem of supply or access?
• Does it require an immediate or long term
  solution?
• Whos Problem is it Anyway?

4
The Need for A Coordinated Global Food Banking
Effort

• Increasing rates of hunger (developed and
  developing countries)
• Growing unacceptable waste of food (post-harvest
  crop loss, surplus, other)
• Hundreds of thousands of independently operated
  hunger-fighting agencies / NGOs
• Too little professionalism in sourcing and
  distributing food
• Too few vetted, community or national global
  hunger voices
• Private and public sector anti-hunger resources
  not adequately aligned

5
The Opportunity for A Coordinated Global Food
Banking Effort

• Global food surplus issue is access, not supply
• World smaller, grocery products companies growing
  larger
• Proven solutions exist
• People, businesses, foundations and governments
  believe and trust private donors and volunteers.
• Increased willingness to share (GFNs basis for
  existence)
• Climate for success is better than in many years

6
Private Sector Role of Food Banks A Role Defined
by

• Need to bring the voice and work of hunger
  agencies together to create authority and
  leverage
• Need to create an efficient network of aligned
  agencies to increase awareness, public policy and
  the amount of available food
• Need to achieve a balance of the commercial food
  distribution model with the food sourcing model
• Need to create self-sufficiency

We Can Do Better

• Today, there are approximately 1,000 food banks
  worldwide that distribute more than 3.5 billion
  pounds annually
• Members of GFN 70 of food banks and 85 of all
  food
• The average food bank assists 40,000 people,
  providing approximately 75 pounds to each person
  per year
• But we reach less than 50 million of the 852
  million hungry people
• Clearly we need to expand the reach and create
  more food banks
