This campaign shows the power of social games, mainly the ones played on Facebook, the idea was to raise awareness on challenges that farmers around the world face when it comes to water, the initiative was led by the UN Water and the Ending Hunger Movement of FAO (United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization) on World Water.

It’s a great idea to reach a mass audience around the world with no media budget, but I’m not sure how these online games freaks can be of any help, but the fact remains, this is a solid campaign!
