Tiziano Ferro, Federica Pellegrini, Dario Vergassola. But also Carlo Petrini, Marco Cappato, Ferruccio De Bortoli, Peter Gomez and Marco Tarquinio
.
And again the influencers Chiara Maci, Germano Lanzoni (from “Il Milanese Imbruttito”) and Vincenzo Maisto (from “Il Signor Destroying).
These are some of the personalities from the world of entertainment, culture, journalism and cinema who have signed "No more Hunger", the manifesto drawn up by Action Against Hunger on the occasion of the next World Food Day (October 16) and in view of the next international appointments that await the Government, starting with the final G20 summit (30-31 October) led by Italy.
"With a planet that is, in fact, capable of producing enough food for all, long-available, effective and low-cost cures against child malnutrition, cooperation projects capable of realizing the self-sufficiency of vulnerable communities, we are the first generation in history that can eliminate hunger - said Simone Garroni, general director of Action Against Hunger -.
Yet, in the last five years, hunger has returned to grow, affirming itself, in Italy and in the world, as a contemporary plague:
811 million people suffer from hunger and over 2 million children die every year due to malnutrition
.
It is unacceptable!
Hunger is man-made and our leaders must have more courage and demonstrate the political will to fight its underlying reasons: conflicts, inequalities and climate change ”.
The manifesto-appeal has a twofold objective
: to mobilize civil society on the contemporary scourge of food insecurity and to push national and international leaders, starting with the next Italian-led G20, to concrete and courageous interventions that go to undermine the structural causes of hunger.
