Women eat last and least, even when pregnant and nursing; undernourished mothers give birth to undernourished children so the hunger cycle continues, according to Joan Holmes, President of the Hunger Project. Women produce 80% of the food in Africa, and over 50% of the farm output in South Asia, yet they are denied the training, credit and tools they need to end their families’ hunger.
