About Reverse Hunger

Reverse Hunger is AJWS’s campaign to tackle the root causes of global hunger right here at home. Our goal is bold but simple: to stop the unintended but tragic consequences of our country’s international food aid policy and to create a new food system that’s fair and reflects our community’s values.

Together, we’re working to save countless lives by reforming the Farm Bill, which is up for renewal this year. We’ve already gathered more than 16,000 signatures for the Jewish Petition for a Just Farm Bill, the cornerstone of our campaign. If you haven’t already signed, add your name now!

We’re proud to be joined in this initiative by the members of the Jewish Farm Bill Working Group: the Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life, the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, Hazon, MAZON, the National Council of Jewish Women and the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism. Learn more about the Jewish Platform for a Just Farm Bill.

We hope you’ll use this site to learn more about why the Farm Bill so urgently needs reform and to get involved with the campaign. And don’t forget to save the date for Global Hunger Shabbat, coming to a community near you, November 2 -3, 2012.

New! Listen to the latest updates on Reverse Hunger and the Farm Bill from our conference call, May 3, 2012.
