Hand in Hand for Better Foods and a Better Future｜World Food Day 2025
Introduction
Every year, World Food Day reminds us of a paradox: the world produces enough food to feed everyone, yet millions still suffer from hunger and malnutrition. As we step into 2025, our food systems face more complex challenges — climate extremes, wars and conflicts, economic instability, and growing inequality.
This year’s theme, “Hand in Hand for Better Foods and a Better Future,” emphasizes collaboration across borders, industries, and generations. Governments, farmers, communities, and individuals must unite to create resilient, inclusive, and sustainable global food systems that nourish both people and the planet.
History and Origin
World Food Day is celebrated each year on October 16, commemorating the founding of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations in 1945.
In 1979, during FAO’s 20th General Conference, member nations proposed establishing an international observance dedicated to global food issues. Since then, more than 150 countries have participated annually, making it one of the most widely celebrated UN days in the world.
From the very beginning, World Food Day has served as a global platform to raise awareness about hunger, food insecurity, and nutrition, while inspiring collective efforts to end hunger through sustainable solutions.
Why World Food Day Matters
■ Food Security and Access for All
Hunger today is not caused by a lack of food, but by inequality, waste, and systemic inefficiencies. World Food Day draws attention to the urgent need for equal access to nutritious food.
■ Promoting Sustainable Agriculture
Agriculture contributes nearly one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions. By adopting sustainable agriculture practices—such as regenerative farming, and precision technology—we can feed people while protecting the environment.
■ Nutrition Equity and Health
The world faces a “double burden” of malnutrition: while some populations suffer from hunger, others face obesity and poor dietary habits. Improving nutrition equity is key to achieving global health.
■ Reducing Food Waste
Around one-third of all food produced globally is wasted. Reducing food waste not only saves resources but also helps stabilize global food supply chains and reduce emissions.
■ Empowering Farmers and Rural Communities
Farmers are the backbone of our food systems. Supporting holders through fair trade, access to technology, and financial inclusion enhances farmers empowerment and strengthens rural economies.
■ Aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
World Food Day directly supports SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption), and SDG 13 (Climate Action) — reinforcing a shared global mission for sustainable development.
What Can We Do?
■ World Food Day is not just a call for policymakers — it’s a day for everyone.
■ Change begins with daily actions:
■ Choose sustainable food packaging and avoid waste.
■ Support local farmers and fair-trade products.
■ Advocate for policies that protect food systems and the environment.
■ Spread awareness using #WorldFoodDay and take part in community events.
