World Food Day

Posted on October 17, 2005

October 16th is World Food Day and we want to highlight Young Agrarians and The Luckiest Nut In The World

World Food Day is a worldwide event designed to increase awareness, understanding, and informed, year-around action to alleviate hunger. It is observed each October 16th in recognition of the founding of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in 1945. The first World Food Day was in 1981. In the United States, the endeavor is sponsored by 450 national, private and voluntary organizations.
