Zero Hunger’s strategy combines short ‐ term responses to emergency situations with medium ‐ and long ‐ term responses that help create the necessary conditions for families to guaranteeing their own food security. Additionally, it recognizes that the needs of people living in rural and urban areas differ and offers a specific set of interventions for each case. This is in line with the “twin ‐ track approach” recommended by FAO in the 1996 World Food Summit and endorsed by the Comprehensive Fr amework of Action of the UN’s Secretary General High ‐ Level Task Force on the Global Food Security Crisis.
