World Food Day is an
event organized by the Food and
Agriculture Organization (FAO) of
the United Nations. It is celebrated on 16th October,
the date of the founding of that organization in 1945. Its purpose is to help build a world without hunger.
ONE IN EIGHT PEOPLE GOES TO SLEEP HUNGRY EVERY DAY.
While Asia and Latin America have reduced the number
of hungry people, the number is increasing in sub-Saharan Africa.
The World Food Day theme for 2012 is
"Agricultural cooperatives – key to feeding the world". It has been
chosen to highlight the role of cooperatives in contributing to the eradication
of hunger. Countries and the international community must do more to fight
hunger: invest in farmers and agriculture and create jobs and safety nets for
the poorest.
