About David Beckmann
World Food Prize laureate David Beckmann is one of the foremost U.S. advocates for hunger-related issues. He is an economist, Lutheran minister and has been president of Bread for the World since 1991. He has written several books - the most recent is Exodus from Hunger: We are called to change the politics of Hunger that looks at the causes of hunger, presents case studies of countries that have made great strides against it, and puts a human face on the problem by sharing stories of people who are, quite simply, hungry every day.
The problems can seem overwhelming, but Beckmann lays out a clear and workable plan for effectively using political channels to make great progress.
Beckmann not only challenges us to get involved, he shows us how.
