Solving World Hunger (visit our page on the PV website)For decades, global citizens have worked tirelessly in the research and field development of the most cost-effective, productive strategies to solve and eliminate world hunger issues. Home gardeners, large farm owners, tree farmers, NGO or Government offices are all offered the most simple solutions for a fraction of the cost!

Statistics from 2010 state that there are 925 million hungry people in the world. This is almost hard to believe when solutions are available to us regarding farming and growing your own food. Please view our links for information about methods of farming that you can share with your community and get involved (on any level) with organizations promoting organic farming methods. Together we can make a difference!
American Farmland Trust
Since our founding in 1980, American Farmland Trust has helped win permanent protection for over a million acres of American farmland. Our hard work and sound strategies unite farmers, environmentalists and policymakers. We have three strategies for saving America's farmland
The Land Institute
When people, land, and community are as one, all three members prosper; when they relate not as members but as competing interests, all three are exploited.
By consulting Nature as the source and measure of that membership, The Land Institute seeks to develop an agriculture that will save soil from being lost or poisoned while promoting a community life at once prosperous and enduring.

Fair Trade
Fair Trade is an innovative, market-based approach to sustainable development. Fair Trade helps family farmers in developing countries to gain direct access to international markets, as well as to develop the business capacity necessary to compete in the global marketplace. By learning how to market their own harvests, Fair Trade farmers are able to bootstrap their own businesses and receive a fair price for their products. This leads to higher family living standards, thriving communities and more sustainable farming practices. Fair Trade empowers farming families to take care of themselves - without developing dependency on foreign aid.
