The COVID-19 global health crisis has been a time to reflect on things we truly cherish and our most basic needs. These uncertain times have made many of us rekindle our appreciation for a thing that some take for granted and many go without - food.
World Food Day is calling for global solidarity to help all populations, and especially the most vulnerable, recover from the crisis, and to make food systems more resilient and robust so they can withstand increasing volatility and climate shocks, deliver affordable and sustainable healthy diets for all, and decent livelihoods for food system workers.
Join FAO North America and Food Tank for the 2020 World Food Day #WFDChat on 16 October 2020 from 10-11 AM EDT to discuss how we can build back better and ensure access to healthy diets for all.
