In areas of conflict, hunger often becomes a weapon of war. From Syria to South Sudan, from Nigeria to Yemen, American support for the global movement to end hunger shows how food can be a tool of peace.

Hacking Hunger, a podcast produced by World Food Program USA, explores how food connects communities across the planet and shares the experiences and insights of families and humanitarians on the front lines of hunger.

The granddaughter of Illinois farmers and a former reporter at Time Magazine, host M.J. Altman uncovers these stories from the field and shares what you can do to help end hunger.
