WORLD FOOD DAY

World Food Day is celebrated every year around the world on 16 October in honour of the date of the founding of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in 1945. Since 1979 the day has been celebrated widely by many other organisations concerned with food security, including the World Food Programme and the International Fund for Agricultural Development. Its aim is to bring awareness to malnutrition, which has taken many forms throughout history.
This year's theme is Healthy diets for a #ZeroHunger, working to make healthy and sustainable diets affordable and accessible to everyone around the world.
820 million people suffer from hunger, while almost 2 billion are either obese or overweight. And as healthy eating is becoming more difficult to achieve, the side effects are negatively impacting the planet.
