More than 852 million people in the world go hungry.
In developing countries, 6 million children die each year, mostly from hunger-related causes.
In the United States, 14 million children live in households where people have to skip meals or eat less to make ends meet.
That means one in ten households in the U.S. are living with hunger or are at risk of hunger.
