Poll: Canada should act to alleviate world hunger

A man walks away with a bag of rice at a food distribution center. An Ipsos-Reid poll conducted in May found that 61 per cent of Canadians believe Canada should do more to help farmers int he developing world.

A third of the people in sub-Saharan Africa are chronically hungry. But, strangely, small-scale farmers, 80 per cent of them women, are the Africans most likely to come up short when trying to feed their families.
