International Food Day
October 16th - 2009 - Achieving Food Security in Times of Crisis



World Food Day (WFD)

As I was invited to make a presentation about World Food Day both for students and their parents I thought I could also make a hub about it.

If you ask me about world days in general I would say that I do not give them much attention most of the time. But in this case I believe that it is not only an interesting subject but also a very actual issue that must be attended urgently.
