I like to think of every day as food day but there is that special day each October as proclaimed by the FAO – World Food Day.

Once a year, on 16 October, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations commemorates its inception by celebrating efforts and raising awareness for the worlds hunger and nutrition problems. The focus this year: “Sustainable Food Systems for Food Security and Nutrition”. This year’s theme aims to highlight the problems and solutions present in the fight to end hunger. FAO is encouraging all participants to reflect and raise awareness about the diverse efforts being used to help feed the world’s population.
