Each year, the the International Law Society at Howard Law School selects a project to support for World Food Day. This support consists of direct financial contributions to projects that have a direct impact on reducing hunger and malnutrition. Therefore, projects may include direct purchases of grain, machinery, or other agricultural inputs. Hunger is also reduced when individuals have access to income that can be used to purchase food. The ILSl also supports projects that extend credit to women or projects that support legislation to protect vulnerable groups from exploitation. Since hunger is also caused when governments are unable to react to disasters, eligible projects also include initiatives that allow government to mitigate food insecurity caused by floods, droghts and other natural and human-made disasters.
