World Food Day is a United Nations holiday that creates awareness about food supply and distribution issues worldwide. This celebration takes place on October 16th every year. World Food Day recognizes food as a fundamental human right and tries to end the constant battle against world hunger.
The imbalance in the food supply chain creates a gap with many people in first-world countries overindulging in food. This day drives awareness of the need for better eating habits for everyone, young and old.
Background of World Food Day
It was established in 1979 to commemorate the founding of the Food and Agriculture Organization in 1945. The Hungarian Minister of Agriculture proposed celebrating World Food Day during the Food and Agriculture Organization’s 20th conference. All members were in support, and the first World Food Day was held on October 16th, 1981 with about 150 countries participating.
Several events are organized worldwide to celebrate this day, with the main event in Rome, Italy, at the Food and Agriculture Organization headquarters. Several organizations put together workshops, exhibitions, conferences, and seminars focused on supply, distribution, and world hunger issues. You can be a part of this celebration by donating to food banks and helping your community.
