A Welcome and Charge “The end of hunger and extreme poverty is within the world's reach and the charge is to do so within the next 50 years. Those of us who support higher education can be proud of the critical part research and education have played in recent decades to reduce the human toll from these twin human tragedies.

Continued progress requires continued knowledge breakthroughs from many disciplines and the translation of research findings into transformational development programs, agricultural practices, and public policy --- again, with critical input from universities.

We welcome and urge you to join us today in our commitment to ensure higher education's role in realizing the greatest achievement for humanity in the 21st century. Yes, it is within reach.�

Our Vision Food Insecurity and Extreme Poverty will be eliminated among the most vulnerable populations on earth.

Our Mission To promote the catalytic role which higher education can play in the convergence of education, applied research, and the efforts of people and organizations (public and private) focused on eradicating food insecurity and extreme poverty. To this end, the Institute will: 1. provide “think- tank� opportunities to explore alternative university models of global strategies being employed by universities, national governments, international agencies and non-governmental institution; and 2. develop, support, and promote linkage opportunities with other universities and public and private organizations that strengthen interdisciplinary research, education, land grant extension programs, and the strength of the University of Missouri's global relationships..

UFWH is a growing, global network of universities working in partnership to amplify the voice of the rising generation – a voice calling for a world free from hunger and malnutrition. Thanks to the synchronized effort of several sponsors and organizations, like the Interdisciplinary Center for Food Security, led by Sandy Rikoon, the 2016 UFWH Summit garnered a renewed interest in university-mobilized action targeting food insecurity and extreme poverty. The summit was kicked off with the one-day PUSH conference of university presidents. Over 80 presidents/chancellors from six continents have signed the PUSH Commitment, establishing a framework for collaboration and a blueprint for action to achieve food and nutrition security. Join the global PUSH movement.
