Why It Matters

Hunger kills. It is the number one contributor to high mortality in the world1. Each

year, the death toll from hunger and related diseases exceeds that of AIDS, malaria,

and tuberculosis combined2.

For those who survive, hunger and malnutrition undermine all other humanitarian and development goals.

FoodBank

What is a FoodBank?

• FoodBanks acquire donated food (much of which would otherwise bewasted) and make it available to those in need through a network ofcommunity agencies including institutional feeding programs like schoolfeeding programs, after-school programs, and others run by NGOs and CBOs.

• FoodBanks are essentially community assets. They represent a non-profitdistribution enterprise in service to the community and require communityinvolvement and ownership.

• FoodBanking engages people from all sectors of the community. In additionto feeding tens of millions of people each year, it has become a vehicle forbuilding public awareness of hunger and its solutions.

• FoodBanking has the flexibility to adapt to a local need.

India FoodBanking Network (IFBN)

India Food Banking Network (IFBN)

What is IFBN:

India FoodBanking Network(IFBN) is a platform for aggregation and effective deployment of India’s existing resources of food, funds, infrastructure, technology, spirit of volunteerism and culture of feeding to address the problem of hunger.

It is a network of Foodbanks which would acquire donated food and deposit it in a physical or virtual Foodbank. The food from these banks would then be channelized to the existing/new feeding programs to feed the hungry.

To implement India Food Banking Network, ‘Food Security Foundation India’ has been incorporated as a Section 25 company. Its Governing Board has been formed and the 1st meeting was held on 12th January 2013

Vision

To eliminate hunger in India by 2020.By 2020 every hungry person should have access to food. To achieve this IFBN is to

provide access to every district to a minimum of one food bank, physical or virtual

by 2020 and going forward this has to be extended to all Blocks and Panchayats.

Global and domestic private companies, state governments and leading

development agencies have shown inclinations to support the initiative. Such a

multi-stakeholder partnership will remain central in going forward and making

India a hunger- free country.
