As a global community, we all need to get involved. Governments, the private sector, farmers, academia, civil society and individuals, including youth, need to work together to ensure all people have access to enough diverse, nutritious, affordable and safe foods.
We all have a role to play to tackle inequality and poverty, make healthy food choices to increase their availability, reduce food waste and protect the environment.
On 16 October 2025, for FAO’s 80th anniversary and World Food Day, step into a journey as the doors of the Food and Agriculture Museum and Network open at FAO headquarters in Rome. This permanent educational experience will be dedicated to food and agriculture, our connection to it, and the Organization’s mandate.
Designed as a new tool to promote the global commitment to food and agriculture, it will connect people through an exchange of knowledge, art and culture of all types, embracing a holistic approach to interactive experiences. From artistic objects and immersive multimedia installations to live workshops, cooking labs and exhibits on rotation, there will always be something new to explore.
