Today is World Food Day. The day was founded 30 years ago with the intent of drawing public awareness to worldwide hunger, poverty and malnutrition. The date, October 16th, was chosen to mark the founding of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in 1945.
This is an excellent article from Ann Veneman, the Executive Director of UNICEF. To learn more about UNICEF programs and World Food Day, visit www.unicef.org.
