On October 16th, 1945, the United Nations founded the Food and Agriculture Organization. In honor of the date, the UN dedicated it to the celebration of World Food Day. It is concerned with food security, including the International Fund for Agricultural Development and the World Food Programme. World Food Day was first established in November 1979 by FAO’s Member Countries at their 20th General Conference. Since then, it has been celebrated in more than 150 countries around the world, raising awareness of the problems behind hunger and poverty.
