October 16 every year is set aside to mark World Food Day, reminding the global community of the critical need for collective action against hunger and malnutrition.

The day also provides an opportunity to reflect on the common challenges affecting food accessibility and to proffer workable solutions.

October 16 further commemorates the founding of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations in 1945 — a milestone in the global fight against food insecurity.
