World Food Day 2012

Each year on October 16th, the UN chooses a theme on which to center the discussion on reducing world hunger. This year, we're totally behind their choice.

They're focusing on "agricultural cooperatives" -- local farming marketplaces that engage communities by hiring, training, and providing services like nutrition lessons. In other words, much like many of the Kickstarter Projects we love to feature and support. Read more about the effects of initiatives like these -- and what you can do to help -- over at Civil Eats.
