In 2022, an ongoing pandemic, global conflicts, climate change, rising prices and international tensions…
…are affecting global food security.
But we need to build sustainable access to enough nutritious food.
For everyone – everywhere.
No one should be left behind.
Leave No One Behind
World Food Day
16th October 2022
Enough food is produced today to feed everyone on the planet…
…but millions of people around the world cannot afford a healthy diet.
Ending hunger isn’t only about supply.
The problem is access and availability of nutritious food.
People around the world are suffering the domino effects of challenges that know no borders.
More than 80% of the extreme poor live in rural areas.
Many rely on agriculture and natural resources for their living.
They are usually the hardest hit by natural and man-made disasters…
…and are often marginalized due to their gender, ethnic origin, or status.
In the face of global crises, global solutions are needed more than ever.
A sustainable world is one where everyone counts.
Governments, the private sector, academia, and civil society and individuals need to work together…
…to prioritize the right of all people to food, nutrition, peace and equality.
We must all be the change.
