The celebration of World Food Day last Monday, was a scene that afforded the audience a profound understanding of migration, investment in food security and rural development. FAO celebrates World Food Day each year on October 16 to commemorate the founding of the organization, which was established in 1945. Events commemorating World Food Day are meant to promote worldwide awareness and action for those who go hungry, and to also ensure food security and nutritious diet for all. FAO Country Representative Marc T. Abdala cautioned that creating conditions to mitigate internal migration is crucial in tackling migration challenges. At the event, an exhibition of products showed the results of countless awareness activities sown in the country’s food sector over the years.
