World Food Day heightens public awareness of world food issues and strengthens solidarity in the struggle against hunger, malnutrition and poverty. Beginning in 1979, World Food Day was established by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations. The day is celebrated widely amongst organisations concerned with hunger, food security and the protection of agriculture.

Event Suggestions:
• Create a display about food security, hunger, and sustainable agriculture
• Discuss how food systems connect farmers, families, markets, and climate
• Share recipes or stories that show the cultural importance of food
