World Food Day

World Food Day (WFD) was founded by the United Nations’ (UN) Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in 1945, and has been observed annually, every October 16, since 1981. The event was established to increase awareness of world hunger and poverty and to inspire solutions for world change.

Today, World Food Day is celebrated by many communities around the world. The theme is Achieving Zero Hunger. It is not just about hunger but also nourishing people, while nurturing the planet.

This year, World Food Day calls for action across sectors to make healthy and sustainable diets affordable and accessible to everyone. At the same time, it calls on everyone to start thinking about what we eat.
