Water is essential to life on Earth. It covers the majority of the Earth's surface, makes up over 50% of our bodies, produces our food, and supports livelihoods.
But this precious resource is not infinite and we need to stop taking it for granted. What we eat, and how that food is produced all affect water.
Together, we can take water action for food and be the change.
Get ready for this year's World Food Day Flagship events! Save the date and stay tuned for more details.
The Global World Food Day Ceremony will take place on Monday, 16 October 2023. Don’t miss the third edition of Junior World Food Day, on 19 October.

Governments, the private sector, farmers, academia, civil society and individuals need to work together to address water challenges. We need to produce more food, fiber, animal feed and biofuel with less water, while ensuring water is distributed equally, our aquatic food systems are safeguarded, and nobody is left behind.
Every one of us, including youth, can take water action for the future of food, people, and the planet.
