Children’s Activity Book

The World Food Day children’s Activity Book, Innovate today, nourish tomorrow, is a tool for educators and parents to help young learners explore innovation in agrifood systems and global challenges through stories and real FAO projects. It encourages youth to become Food Heroes by discovering solutions from science, data, technology, knowledge and nature and understanding how their actions can shape a better food future. Through different activities, it also invites children and youth to take part in the World Food Day Poster Contest 2026, share their ideas, and inspire change.
