World Food Day is celebrated every October 16th to raise awareness about global hunger and promote efforts to ensure food security and healthy, sustainable food for all. This day advocates fighting against hunger, malnutrition, and poverty. Various events and activities are organized worldwide to emphasize the importance of sustainable agriculture, food production, and distribution systems.
