FG unfolds Activities to Mark World Food Day

Nigeria will join the global Community to mark the World Food Day 2019. The theme for this year’s celebration is “Our Actions Are Our Future, Healthy Diets for A #ZeroHunger World” which specifically addresses United Nations Sustainable Development Goal No 2 being “Zero Hunger”. The annual event established by  United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) since 1945 is celebrated on 16th October of every year in over 180 countries around the world to promote world-wide effective action to end hunger, malnutrition and poverty and ensuring that everyone at all times and place has physical and economic access to nutritious  food.

This year’s theme calls for action across sectors to make healthy and sustainable diets affordable and accessible to everyone.
