World Food Day: October 16, 2013

Every year 2.3 million children under age five die from causes related to malnutrition—and it simply 

doesn’t have to be. In 1979 the United Nations declared October 16th World Food Day to strengthen 

national and international solidarity in the struggle against hunger, malnutrition, and poverty, and to 

draw attention to achievements in food security and agricultural development. The day has been 

celebrated every year since 1981.
