World Food Day marks the founding of FAO, and this year, the Organization turns 80!
Join us throughout this milestone year by organizing events, sharing stories, and taking meaningful action.
As we mark FAO’s 80th anniversary, we are launching a special series of stories that inspire change - stories of resilience, innovation, and hope. They tell of lands restored, biodiversity cherished, and oceans cared for; of collaboration that strengthens communities and nourishment that brings dignity and resilience.
Get ready to read new stories from #FoodHeroes working hand in hand for better foods and a better future.
Across the globe, women, men, boys and girls are supporting and empowering their communities through food action, making a positive impact even amidst global challenges.
