World Food Day is celebrated every year around the globe on 16 October in recognition of the date of the establishing of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in 1945.
This day is celebrated widely by many other organisations who are concerned with food security, including the World Food Programme and the International Fund for Agricultural Development.
We must think about the food we eat and who grows it, and also where it comes from so that we can make more educated choices as voters and consumers. In recognition of World Food Day this October 16, use your voice to help small-scale farmers lift themselves out of hardship. Happy World Food Day 2018.
