We Can End Hidden Hunger in our Lifetime

2 billion people aren’t getting enough life-giving nutrients to reach their full potential and fight disease.

We believe the world’s biggest problem is hidden hunger. It impacts everything. Hidden hunger is a chronic lack of vitamins, minerals and micro-nutrients only whole foods can deliver. It shows up in EVERY country where the first priority is to get food in bellies, and where we only eat meal after meal of processed, white grains and corn.

It causes kids to miss school. It keeps adults from work when they’re chronically ill. And it orphans too many children.

The diseases caused by hidden hunger cost us too much to treat —if we have access to healthcare at all. And the burden of disease from Hidden Hunger limits global efforts to end extreme poverty. Because nutrition is a basic need and only when it’s met can people thrive.

Until now, the knowledge and training of a nutrient-dense diet has seemed out of reach for many.

But with training from the Thrive Institute, anyone can grow health.

  • 10+ years of hands-on experience growing health
  • Over 1 million hours of training, research and applied practice
  • Extensive consulting with world leaders in health and organic growing
