LIVE: World Food Day
Hunger is rising, due to factors including conflict, climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic, which is putting a strain on food systems that are already failing in many countries. In today’s LIVE blog, marking World Food Day, we will look at some of the many issues and possible solutions.

Waste not, want not
The amount of food wasted every year is a scandal that has not gone unnoticed by the UN, which inaugurated the first International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste Reduction at the end of September. The Secretary-General called global food waste “an ethical scandal”, and a squandering of natural resources.
The World Food Programme (WFP), worthy recipients of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, launched its #StopTheWaste campaign in September, which revealed that, whilst there is enough food in the world to feed every child, woman and man on the planet, one-third of that food ends up rotting in trash bins, or spoiling during transportation and storage, while 690 million people go to bed hungry every night.
You can read our story on the international day here, and listen again to our podcast on how a deprived neighbourhood in Brooklyn, New York, is trying to encourage healthier, more sustainable eating habits and reduce wasteful food practices.

‘Grow, nourish, sustain. Together’
Good morning from UN News in New York! World Food Day is celebrated globally, but it is being led by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), which is based in Rome, where events will be kicking off at around 14:00 Central European Time.
Over the next few hours, we’ll be taking you through some of the main themes and issues surrounding food and food systems, and how they’re being tackled throughout the UN system.
And there are some serious problems to discuss: food systems – which encompass everything that goes from transforming raw ingredients on the farm, to food on the plate – are clearly not functioning as they should. They’re exacerbating climate change, thanks to the greenhouse gases they produce, trillions of dollars worth of food goes to waste, and yet millions are still going hungry.
The UN wants to ensure that future food systems provide affordable and healthy diets for all, and decent livelihoods for food system workers, while preserving natural resources and biodiversity and tackling challenges such as climate change.
As is so often the case with global problems, the solutions are out there, but greater political will and awareness is needed to put them into practice.
