#ZeroHunger. Just imagine it. At last, every child in every corner of the world can reach their full potential. To achieve this, we've got to raise our game! We need ever more brilliant new technologies and innovations. So we had an idea: a hub of ambition and imagination. The World Food Programme Innovation Accelerator, supporting the boldest solutions to come one step closer to Zero Hunger.

795 million people are estimated to be chronically undernourished as of 2014, often as a direct consequence of environmental degradation, drought and loss of biodiversity. Over 90 million children under the age of five are dangerously underweight. One in eight people goes to bed hungry at night. One of the Sustainable Development Goals is to end all forms of hunger and malnutrition by 2030, making sure all people – especially children – have access to sufficient and nutritious food all year round.

The WFP Innovation Accelerator sources, supports and scales high-potential solutions to end hunger worldwide. We provide WFP staff, entrepreneurs, start-ups, companies and non-governmental organizations with access to funding, mentorship, hands-on support and WFP operations.
