How Can Businesses Fight the Food Crisis? | C.D. Glin and Devendri Adari

“If women had the same access to resources that men do, they could increase the yield of their farm by 20-30%, and they could reduce the number of hungry people in the world by 150 million.”
A United Nations report suggests that one in ten people face hunger globally. Moreover, more than 3.1 billion people cannot afford a healthy diet. Such statistics reflect a global food crisis that threatens Sustainable Development Goal 2 - Zero Hunger.
At the One Young World Summit in Belfast, PepsiCo executives C.D. Glin and Devendri Adari spoke about their social responsibility as one of the largest food and beverage companies in the world to empower their suppliers. They seek to transform the agricultural industry by emphasising gender equality within farming communities.
Their mantra for effective leadership can be summed up in 3 words: local, leading, lasting:
- Supporting local communities
- Leading by example
- Creating lasting, sustainable solutions
