FAO, WHO and Ministry of Agriculture took the WFSD opportunity to express together appreciation to everyone who contributes to ensuring the safety of food, especially in light of the challenges the world is facing because of globalization and open markets, in addition to the repercussions of the Covid-19 pandemic.

They celebrated the WFSD by undertaking a media campaign through the development of a brief on WFSD, a joint press release, an infographic with the five messages of the campaign and twitter key messages.  The materials were sent to all media outlets and posted on FAO and WHO Regional web pages.  Activities included media interviews with FAO, WHO and Ministry of Agriculture representatives to raise awareness and enhance confidence in national production and encourage its consumption.
