The IF campaign will be formally launched tonight in London, a multi charity campaign aiming to end world hunger and poverty.

Backed by a hundred charities, the IF coalition is asking for Prime Minister David Cameron to tackle four main issues through the G8:

• Stop poor farmers being forced off their land, and use the available land to grow food for people, not biofuels for cars
• Ensure governments keep their promises on aid, invest to stop children dying from malnutrition and help the poorest people feed themselves through investment in small farmers

• Make governments stop big companies dodging tax in poor countries, so that millions of people can free themselves from hunger
• Force governments and investors to be "honest and open" about the deals they make in the poorest countries that stop people getting enough food

Despite there being enough food in the world to feed everyone, one in eight women, men and children go to bed hungry every night.

A report from charity coalition IF, which aims to combat world hunger and poverty, claims that nearly 940 million young people will see their life chances permanently damaged by the impact of childhood hunger by 2025.

The coalition is made up of a hundred British charities, backing the campaign to put an end to world hunger.

Celebrities Bill Nighy and Keeley Hawes are behind the campaign, that is urging Prime Minister David Cameron to use the UK's G8 presidency, to help combat world hunger.
