Tackling Hunger and Poverty

About one week ago, The Nation published an article entitled, Ten Things to Reduce Hunger and Provide Good Food For All, in which they wrote,

Hunger exists in the United States. The reason is poverty. The root cause of poverty is powerlessness. Whyhunger uses the titled question as an approach to the solution by connecting communities to resources, while providing immediate access to nutritious emergency food. Bill Ayres, the executive director, co-founded WhyHunger thirty-five years ago to address the urgent need for food by establishing a food hotline and later included a multi-issued platform to build power and self-reliance in impoverished communities in the United States and worldwide. Why is there hunger in a world that can feed itself and how can we solve it?

So, I thought I would spend the next two days or so featuring one of the ten listed ideas per post.
