When it comes to feeding a growing world population, it just may be the little things that make all the difference.

Elanco president Jeff Simmons gave an “egg-cellent egg-xample” at the 2012 World Food Prize last week of how just one egg a day can change lives. He calls the egg “a simple solution to food insecurity.” Watch the video below of Jeff explaining why one little egg can be so important to a family facing hunger challenges.
