World Food Day 2019

by sagar koirala | 17-10-2019 10:23 recommendations 0

World Food Day is a day of action dedicated to tackling global hunger. It is  held annually on  October 16 ,engaging  people from all corners of  the world  who come together to declare their commitment to eradicate worldwide hunger from this planet.

We started celebrating the creation of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in this day. Various events are organized in over 150 countries across the world, making it one of the most celebrated days of the world. These events promote worldwide awareness and action for those who suffer from hunger and for the need to ensure food security and nutritious diets for all. The focus of the day is that food is a basic and fundamental human right. Yet, in a world of billions, over 820million people worldwide suffering chronic undernourishment, 60% women and almost five million children under the age of five die of malnutrition-related causes every day.

It¡¯s also important to note that while millions go hungry, 672 million people suffer from obesity, and a further 1.3 billion are overweight. We can change this.

World Food Day 2019 focused on SDG 2 - Zero Hunger, with a theme of
 ¡°Our Actions Are Our Future. Healthy Diets for A #ZeroHunger World".

8 Reasons Why Zero Hunger Changes the World

  1. Zero hunger could save the lives of 3.1 million children a year
  2. Well-nourished mothers have healthier babies with stronger immune systems
  3. Ending child undernutrition could increase a developing country's GDP by 16.5 percent
  4. A dollar invested in hunger prevention could return between $15 and $139 in benefits
  5. Proper nutrition early in life could mean 46 percent more in lifetime earnings
  6. Eliminating iron deficiency in a population could boost workplace productivity by 20 percent
  7. Ending nutrition-related child mortality could increase a workforce by 9.4 percent
  8. Zero hunger can help build a safer, more prosperous world for everyone
