Youth Radio Eats is a food journal produced by downtown Oakland's Youth Radio interns, who work hands-on to make healthy and delicious food, research community food related actions, and explore and produce information about food from a youth perspective. Youth Radio Eats also works with community partners such as the HOPE Collaborative to provide advocacy, drive policy change, and create lasting community changes around how the environment influences healthy lifestyles.

Security

Food is something we all unconsciously take for granted. Almost every five seconds a child dies from starvation. It's not just about the children at this point ; whole families go hungry almost everyday. This issue is growing at an almost unstoppable rate. In today’s world, the most important business is growing enough food and ensuring that it reaches everyone. As a people we need to increase global food production by 70% before 2050. There are some specific steps that need to be implemented if we want to see change:
  • Comprehensively address the underlying causes of hunger and under-nutrition
  • Invest in country-led plans
  • Strengthen strategic coordination
  • Leverage the benefits of multilateral institutions
  • Make sustained and accountable commitments
If we could come to a global commitment to support each other , Just imagine!
