Together, Prospering Together, and Sustaining Together.October 16th of this
year is World Food Day and also the 75th birthday of the Food and Agriculture
Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The theme of this year's Food Day is
"Growing Together, Prospering Together, and Sustaining Together. Actions
Create the Future."
The
Secretary-General of the United Nations, Guterres, issued a video message and
pointed out that we need to step up our efforts to achieve the vision of the
Sustainable Development Goals. We need to improve the food system’s ability to
withstand turbulence and climate shocks, ensure that everyone enjoys a
sustainable and healthy diet, minimize food waste, and enable the food system
to provide workers with a decent and safe livelihood. We have the knowledge and
ability to create a more resilient, fairer and more sustainable world!
