How Food Insecurity Is Affecting Communities on the Ground

Food security is a major concern at the global level, as we continue to face an ongoing pandemic, international conflicts and climate change, amidst an uncertain economic outlook.

In conjunction with World Food Day (16th Oct), we speak to Justin Cheah, Operations Director with Kechara Soup Kitchen to find out more.
