With unprecedented focus on social change and more dollars floating into philanthropy than ever before, there are extraordinary opportunities to create lasting solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges. And yet, despite dramatic advances in the scale and sophistication of philanthropy, many of society’s biggest problems—climate change, poverty, and food security—have persisted or, in some cases, gotten worse. In this conversation, we’ll explore what philanthropy gets right and wrong when it comes to addressing hunger and poverty; how the public, private, and philanthropic sectors can work together to achieve results; and how we can think differently about philanthropy to build more equitable and sustainable food systems for all.
