What is food? Food is life. Food is memory, roots, land, and the knowledge of our ancestors. Food is a right, not a privilege. Eighty years ago, the world made a promise to grow, share, feed communities and live better through food. This World Food Day, October 16, let’s all walk together hand in hand. Honour traditions. Cultivate innovation. Harvest a better future. To leave no one behind. Visit www.fao.org/wfd to learn more.
