Bread for the World Institute provides policy analysis on hunger and strategies to end it. The Institute educates opinion leaders, policy makers, and the public about hunger in the United States and abroad.

The Hunger Report is the Institute’s largest annual analysis of the state of world hunger. The 2016 Hunger Report demonstrates that poor health is a leading cause of hunger and poverty. If we reduce poverty and hunger, we will save healthcare costs and as a result reduce our debt. Download a list of report sponsors and acknowledgements.
