ONE

ONE is an organization supported by more than 2 million people and growing, from all walks of life all around the world, uniting as one against extreme poverty. Agriculture is a key component of economic growth and poverty reduction, especially in Africa, where more than half the population relies on agriculture for survival.

The Food CrisisThe current rise in food prices has directed global attention towards issues of food security and agricultural productivity. Since 2005, the prices of staple foods have risen by 83% wheat and rice prices have hit 28 and 19 year peaks, respectively. Some of the factors behind the current price boom include population growth, changing diets, increased demand for biofuels, more frequent flooding and drought, trade distortions, and rising energy and transport costs. Global climate negotiations in 2008 offer international leaders a unique opportunity to address the impact that climate change is having on the world’s poor, especially in sub Saharan Africa. Climate change is clearly not a crisis of Africa’s making, yet the consequences of global warming will disproportionately hit Africa’s poor.
