Gamers can actually be socially responsible as well as do their thing, for hours, days – fight hunger. UN’s World Food Program has teamed with Konami Digital for online game, “Food Force” which “takes players through the process of planting, harvesting, processing and distributing food all over the world while they respond to food emergencies, prompting users to use their logistical abilities to keep countries from experiencing hunger.” READ - "STATE of FOOD INSECURITY in World - 2011- diplomaticallyincorrect.org/films/blog_post/state-of-food-insecurity-in-world-2011-un-report-by-ambassador-mo/36153. Gamer Money to Support School Meals Projects: The game can be accessed as an application on Facebook. It also allows players to ask friends to help them in their operations and compete with other users to obtain crops, equipment and virtual goods. Money spent by players will help fund WFP school meals projects in the real world, which provide daily meals to 20 million children every year. According to Nancy Roman WFP’s Director of Communications: “There are millions of online video games and a few of which help support the fight against hunger. Food Force will be the first one to build large communities of people who will be able to make a dent in hunger.” Read: - Educating/Feeding Schoolchildren” - diplomaticallyincorrect.org/films/blog_post/educating-feeding-schoolchildren-by-susan-sacirbey/40851. Second Generation: “Food Force” is in Japanese and English - the second version following the original in 2005, which simulated an emergency operation on a fictitious island, generating over six million downloads. “The social media and gaming landscape has been transformed since the original Food Force and now there is great scope for a game that allows players to grow and strengthen their networks, while doing good.” said Ms. Roman.
