Maryknoll OGC Joins Letter to Congress on Haitian Food Sovereignty
Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns joined a group of twenty organizations in writing to Congress on the unprecedented levels of acute hunger in the island nation of Haiti due to increased costs of imports, drought, and government neglect of agriculture. U.S. assistance, from the Farm Bill and USAID, should go to existing local and small-scale farms and agricultural organizations to promote food sovereignty over food dependence.
