Water is life, water is food.

Leave no one behind.

World Food Day is one of the most celebrated days of the UN calendar, promoting worldwide awareness of hunger and promoting action for the future of food, people and the planet.  This year it is celebrated on October 16, 2023.

Together we can create a better, more sustainable food future for all.

Water is essential to life on Earth. It covers the majority of the Earth's surface, makes up over 50% of our bodies, produces our food, and supports livelihoods.  

But this precious resource is not infinite and we need to stop taking it for granted. What we eat, and how that food is produced all affect water. 

Together, we can take water action for food and be the change.
