Stevens Point Journal: Partnership enhances food supply, economic development

By Bernie Patterson, Chancellor at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point

In this season of thanks, an estimated one in eight people go to bed hungry. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates nearly 870 million of the world’s 7.1 billion people are undernourished.
