𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 Today, we celebrate World Food Day (16 October), a globally recognized day focused on raising awareness about hunger and food insecurity. This year's theme, "𝐑𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞," reminds us of the urgent need to create resilient and sustainable food systems that ensure constant access to safe, nutritious, diverse, affordable, and sufficient food for all people. At 𝐋𝐚 𝐒𝐢𝐬𝐚 𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐦, we have decided to join other food heroes and raise awareness about global hunger and food-related issues. In honor of World Food Day, we reflect on the urgent need for action to reduce hunger and food insecurity. According to 𝐅𝐀𝐎 𝒆𝒕 𝒂𝒍. (𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒), between 713 and 757 million people faced hunger globally in 2023. Additionally, about 864 million people experienced severe food insecurity, meaning they spent an entire day or more without eating any food. In the current context of climate change, international conflicts, and economic instability, which increase hunger and food insecurity, collective and effective action is required to reduce these numbers. We encourage everyone to join the effort in raising awareness about hunger and food insecurity, especially in resource-poor rural communities where the prevalence tends to be high. Through collaboration, we can accelerate access to food and create a hunger-free future. 𝐅𝐀𝐎 𝒆𝒕 𝒂𝒍. (𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒) 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭: https://lnkd.in/dN9p4gnC #WorldFoodDay #RightToFoods #LeaveNoOneBehind #LaSisaFarm
