For over a Quarter of a Century, World Food Day (October 16th) has provided a forum on television, for in-depth analysis of the crisis of extreme poverty and hunger throughout the world, even in the US. This particular panel, has representatives from the Agency for International Development's Food For Peace program, the main vehicle the United States uses to distribute food to needy countries. Also represented, is a member of The World Food Council, which has existed for many decades , and has hands-on-the-ground experience in food insecure countries.

World Food Day presents a 9 part discussion of the danger of Climate Change to our food security, World-Wide. Ray Suarez of PBS, hosts this discussion with many key people that are familiar with the science of climate change, and it's impact on food production.

The US Dept. of Agriculture, in partnership with the FAO (the United Nations Food & and Agriculture Organization), accomplish many programs that enable sustainable agriculture, both here and in other countries. In spite of criticism of USDA as a racist outfit, it still manages somehow, to render much needed credit, even to minorities( although it usually takes a lawsuit!!)
