This year’s #WorldFoodDay theme, “Right to foods for a better life and a better future” spotlights the importance of diversity, nutrition, affordability, accessibility as well as the safety and sustainability of foods, raising awareness about how a greater diversity of nutritious foods should be available in our fields, fishing nets, markets, and on our tables, for the benefit of all. Today, hunger is often worsened by frequent weather changes, economic downturns and conflicts. World Food Day 2024 looks at solutions to ensure that all people have enough adequate and regular access to diverse, safe, nutritious food, leaving no one behind.

Consult the World Food Day website to learn more about the theme and how to join the campaign.
