Every year, significant aid is directed towards developing countries to combat hunger, yet challenges persist. Despite the extensive efforts and resources invested, many communities continue to face food insecurity and malnutrition. This panel discussion aims to explore and showcase the innovative strategies developed by the alumni of the Alumni Network of the International Sustainability Academy (ISA).
