World Food Day 2023 

World Food Day is an annual event on October 16th that highlights important issues like hunger and food security. In 2023, the theme is “Water is life, water is food. Leave no one behind,” pointing out the role of water in farming and making food. 

It all started with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization’s founding in 1945. They declared October 16th as World Food Day in 1979, aiming to raise awareness about food challenges and find solutions.

Despite food being a basic right, millions still suffer from hunger and lack access to clean water and good nutrition. World Food Day focuses on these problems and aims to end global hunger. 

Over 150 countries observe this day, working together to fight hunger and make sure everyone has enough to eat. It asks governments, organisations, and people to come together to achieve these goals.
