Who We Are
Presidents United to Solve Hunger is a consortium of universities from around the world that have the collective mission to end hunger and poverty, both locally and globally.
Signatories of the Presidents’ Commitment to Food and Nutrition Security make up a consortium known as Presidents United to Solve Hunger or PUSH. Powered by its student counterpart, Universities Fighting World Hunger, PUSH signatories pledge to work collectively toward zero hunger campuses, communities, and nations.
Universities nurture innovation and inspire critical thinking, and over the years many of the world’s best university researchers and teachers have made tremendous contributions to the science of growing, processing, transporting and accessing food. But until PUSH was developed in 2014, it was difficult for the academy to make a collective contribution to the global effort to end hunger and malnutrition.
- Build a campus food and nutrition security network through teaching, research, outreach and engagement
- Develop students as enlightened global citizens who will advance social good
- Engage faculty across disciplines in a strategy to solve hunger
- Create public and political will to end hunger through collaboration
- Empower students to end hunger through awareness, advocacy and action
