History of World Food Day
World Food Day (WFD) was founded in November 1979 by Food and Agriculture Organization’s Member Countries during the 20th General Conference of the Organization. The Hungarian commission headed by the former Hungarian Agriculture and Food Minister Dr. Pál Romány played a significant role at the 20th General Conference of the FAO as he proposed the idea of celebrating the WFD all over the world. From that time this day is celebrated every year in over 150 countries, increasing awareness about the problems of poverty and hunger. From 1981, this day has adopted various themes every year, and many of the themes are about agriculture. In recent times, World Food Day focuses on various features of food safety and agriculture like biodiversity, climate change, and also it focuses on fishing communities.
This year the theme of the World Food Day is "Our Actions are Our Future".
We celebrate the Mediterranean Food in ours schools.
