Collective action across 150 countries is what makes World Food Day one of the most celebrated days of the UN calendar. Hundreds of events and outreach activities bring together governments, businesses, NGOs, the media, and general public. They promote worldwide awareness and action for those who suffer from hunger and for the need to ensure healthy diets for all.
#WorldFoodDay 2021 will be marked a second time while countries around the world deal with the widespread effects of the global Covid-19 pandemic. It's a time to look into the future we need to build together.
Make #WorldFoodDay your day - share your individual action online or join the call by developing a virtual event or activity.
Behind our food, there is always someone who produced, planted, harvested, fished or transported it. On World Food Day, we thank #FoodHeroes who, no matter the circumstances, continue to provide food to their communities and beyond.
