Description

The global hunger rate began climbing in 2019 and grew exponentially with the arrival of the pandemic, escalating climate disasters and the invasion of Ukraine.   Today on the show, an update on the hunger crisis.  Our guest today is Andy Harrington––executive director of Canadian Foodgrains Bank, also known as CFGB.  CFGB is a partnership of 15 church and church-based agencies, including MCC, working together to end global hunger.  You may remember Andy from when we spoke with him around this time last year. We wanted to check back in with him after a new report on the State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World was released earlier this month. Brad Quiring, MCC Canada’s donor engagement manager, hosts this episode. Full transcript and show notes available here.
