Do not think of hunger as boring, think of hunger as urgent. "Food systems will be judged by how they treat their most vulnerable" - @l_haddad @DeatonInstitute #WithinReachZeroHunger
Cheers that the #Debates2020 tonight includes a question about #hunger and #poverty! An unfortunate reality for far too many - but I’m glad that our Presidential candidates are being asked how they’ll address it.
Speaking to @WorldFoodPrize Laureate Howarth Bouis (founder & former director of @HarvestPlus) was exactly what I needed to hear to kick off #WorldFoodDay #FoodPrize20 - my takeaways: food can bring all humankind together & the value is in trying > succeeding. #HungryForChange

As a new MBA candidate, I resonated most with her message to "think big and bold" & to know that there IS a place for you in #agriculture + #foodsecurity work. There is no linear path to doing work that matters!
