Solving Global Hunger – One Community Weekly Progress Update #319

Solving global hunger is possible and necessary. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that about 815 million people (10.7% of the global population) were suffering from chronic undernourishment in 2016¹. Two BILLION of us are estimated to be nutritionally deficient². One Community sees a global network of teacher/demonstration hubs sharing needed resources, permaculture strategies, and living models for The Highest Good of All as a path to solving this. Watch the introduction of our latest progress updates video below to learn exactly how.

• Here’s our project overview
• Here’s our world-change methodology
  
• Here’s how this becomes self-replicating
• Here’s how we are open source and free-sharing all the do-it-yourself designs
