Page 27 Hunger is the greatest scandal of our age. The world produces enough food for everyone, but not everyone has enough food. Together, we can make 2013 the beginning of the end for the global hunger crisis. But only IF we act together and make our leaders begin to end hunger by tackling four big IFs. Tom Pietrasik/Oxfam
