Why is World Food Security Day celebrated?

Why is World Food Security Day celebrated? World Food Security Day is celebrated every year on October 16. The purpose of the day is to draw attention to global food security and the challenges of food supply. Food security means that all people have a constant physical, social and economic opportunity to get enough nutritious food.

Food security is one of the UN’s sustainable development goals, and achieving it is an important part of fighting poverty and hunger in the world. On World Food Security Day, we want to remind you that food is a basic right for every person, and that improving food security is a key part of sustainable development.
