World Food Day Media Event: (L-R): WFP’s Representative and Country Director, Ms. Karla Hershey; Minister of Agriculture, Hon Jeanine Cooper; and FAO’s Chief Technical Advisor / Officer-in-Charge, Mr. Jonathan Wesley Roberts. The aim is to build dynamic food systems which contribute to community-based agricultural growth and the strengthening of national economies. The need for concerted action to improve agricultural production while enhancing global supply chains and ending food waste is reflected in this year’s World Food Day theme: “Grow, Nourish, Sustain. Only together can we really reach Zero Hunger by 2030, and this could not be more relevant than in Liberia.”Another vital element in improving food systems is stopping food waste. The United Nations World Food Programme is the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate.
