World Food Day 2013

Sustainable Food Systems for Food Security and Nutrition” will be the focus of World Food Day in 2013.

The official World Food Day theme – announced at the start of every year by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) - gives focus to World Food Day observances and helps increase understanding of problems and solutions in the drive to end hunger.

Today almost 870 million people worldwide are chronically undernourished. Unsustainable models of development are degrading the natural environment, threatening ecosystems and biodiversity that will be needed for our future food supply. Calls for profound changes in our agriculture and food systems are becoming more frequent and more insistent. What would a sustainable food system look like?  Is it possible to get from here to there?  What would need to change to move us in that direction?  World Food Day 2013 is an opportunity to explore these and other questions, and help bring about the future we want.
