Celebrated every 16th of October, World Food Day promotes worldwide awareness and action for those who suffer from hunger and for the need to ensure food security and nutritious diets for all. The focus of the day is that food is a basic and fundamental human right. (banner photo lifted from ATI main site)
Sharing the same vision of the importance and urgency of food security, sustainability, and by making food available to every family, the Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) is one with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in celebrating World Food Day today October 16.
The United Nation Organization’s Food and Agriculture Association (FAO) was established on the 16th of October in 1945. World Food Day is celebrated every year with a new theme to commemorate this day. The objective is to create and promote global awareness and action for those who suffer from hunger and for the need to ensure healthy diets for all.
This year’s #WorldFoodDay marks the 75th Anniversary of the founding of FAO, with a view to looking towards the future we need to build together and the theme “Grow, nourish, sustain. Together. Our actions are our future.”
Whether one is a farmer, a civil servant, from the private sector, or simply someone who wants change and contribute to this good cause, we can take action to attain zero hunger!
