A fish pond provides a steady source of protein—improving nutrition and health for a community. It also irrigates crops to give farms a boost, especially in times of drought.

We know how to stop hunger. We teach farmers sustainable agriculture and support them in accessing markets so they can sell what they harvest. This is how they can move beyond subsistence farming and earn income that will help ensure a healthy future for their families and communities.

A lamb or baby goat, when it matures, can be a daily source of nutritious milk. Livestock helps farm families increase their incomes and provide their children with well-rounded diets.

A household garden provides important nutritional variety to poor families. Catholic Relief Services teaches families how to build keyhole gardens, raised-bed gardens that are specially designed to maintain nutrient-rich soil and stay productive during winter months. They are also easy to tend, even for people with limited mobility.

Pigs are perfect for helping farmers earn more. Rather than requiring pasture, pigs can live in pens and be fed a variety of foods.

Quality seeds become quality crops that resist drought, pests and disease. Seeds fight hunger through the promise of vital nutrition, good health and lasting food security.
