Drs. Lawrence Haddad and David Nabarro were announced today as the 2018 World Food Prize Laureates during a ceremony at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The Prize rewards their individual but complementary global leadership in elevating maternal and child undernutrition within the food security and development dialogue at national and international levels with the result of reducing the world’s number of stunted children by 10 million between 2012 and 2017.
“Like Dr. Norman Borlaug before them, Drs. Haddad and Nabarro have dedicated their careers to reducing hunger and malnutrition,” said Bill Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. “Their work has deepened our understanding of nutrition’s impact not only on individual health, but on human capital and economic growth – compelling leaders in countries across the world to invest in evidence-based solutions.”
The Laureate Announcement Ceremony featured a variety of high-level speakers including the Hon. Ted McKinney the U.S. Department of Agriculture Under Secretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs, the Hon. Bill Northey the U.S. Department of Agriculture Under Secretary for Farm Production and Conservation, World Food Prize President Amb. Kenneth M. Quinn and Assistant Secretary of State for Economic and Business Affairs Manisha Singh.

Executive Summary for the State of Oklahoma
The Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma and the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma, the “Oklahoma Food Banks,” are the largest private hunger-relief organizations in the state. Food Banks are the single most important source of food for Oklahoma's hunger relief agencies. Volunteers are the backbone of our work and one of our most valuable resources in the fight against hunger.
This report provides a comprehensive look at hunger in Oklahoma and how the Oklahoma Food Banks and their partner agencies are working together to understand and address the needs of Oklahomans who find themselves in need of food assistance. The information found in this report includes results from Hunger in America 2014, a nation-wide study conducted by Feeding America, the largest domestic hunger-relief charity in the United States. Additional data was provided by state and national reports on poverty and hunger. The information is used to help guide the development of programs and solutions that improve food security for individuals and their households and inform public awareness and policy development for addressing hunger in Oklahoma.
Milkweed, again. I seem to understand their craving for it, these hunger-crazed spangled fritillaries, the way they zero in, wings fluttering, then the stillness while feeding, sucking in the sweetness. Their time is short, though long enough, no doubt, for their purposes, sustenance to carry them, satiated, into the coming cold.

While traveling off of Interstate 40 today at the Hildebran NC exit in eastern Burke County I stumbled across the Henry River Mill Village on the Henry River Road. After I got home and did a little research I found out it was the site for a motion picture movie called The Hunger Games. This was the company store in District 12. Black and White
