World Food Day 2024 celebrated across Europe and Central Asia

Right to foods for a better life and a better future

31/10/2024
World Food Day is commemorated every year on 16 October, the date FAO was founded in 1945. The theme this year – Right to foods for a better life and a better future – was meant to highlight access to adequate, safe, affordable and nutritious food as a fundamental human right. FAO works to build a just and equitable world in which everyone has a food-secure, nutritious, varied and affordable diet. To highlight this mandate on World Food Day, FAO offices in Europe and Central Asia organized activities of an impressively wide variety in nature, format and scope.
