Growing cress in pots - something fun you remember doing as a kid? Now musicians The Magic Numbers and Get Cape Wear Cape Fly have joined Oxfam to give this small fun task a big new meaning.

This Saturday, 16th October is World Food Day and the musicians will be joining hundreds of people around the UK, growing cress in yoghurt pots, to support Oxfam's call to UK MP's to ‘Sow the Seed' needed to help the world's poorest people adapt to climate change.

Climate changes are putting whole communities at risk as rains are becoming more erratic, flood and droughts more frequent. In order to adapt, money is needed.

I have been really inspired by this campaign. It is using this simple action as a symbol to remind world leaders when they meet at the next climate change talks in December that in the poorest places, people, especially women, are struggling to grow food to feed their families due to climate change. Oxfam is calling on world leaders to deliver on their promise to provide vulnerable countries with $100bn a year by 2020 to reduce emissions and adapt to a changing climate.

The Magic Numbers band member Romeo said: "Climate change means that more people are going hungry, which is why we are supporting Oxfam's ‘Sow the Seed' campaign. Get growing and join the campaign!"
