1. -All this happens in a world where food is abundant.
   

1. -It is small farmers who constitute the bulk of the victims of hunger.

1. -It is possible to end hunger now at an affordable cost.
   

1. -Not doing everything possible to end hunger must be recognized as a crime against humanity.
   

1. -Our leaders must be put in front of their responsibilities.
