The Global Food Crisis - Take Action!

ASIA AMERICA INITIATIVE believes that in order to promote peace and community-based economic development in areas of severe poverty, terror and armed conflict, we must first address their basic human needs. Our nutrition and agricultural livelihood programs provide health assistance to children and their families suffering from malnutrition and water-borne diseases and our farming programs empower agricultural communities to not only be food-sufficient but provide surplus through international agencies to communities in desperate need.

The World Bank estimates that 33 countries around the world face potential political and social unrest because of the acute hike in food and energy prices.
