World Food Day

## What is World Food Day

World Food Day is an international day celebrated every year worldwide on October 16 to commemorate the date of the founding of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization in 1945. The day is celebrated widely by many other organizations concerned with hunger and food security, including the World Food Programme, the World Health Organization, the Geneva Environment Network, Save the Children, and the International Fund for Agricultural Development.

The Hill Country Cultural Cooking Club exists as an extension of NEO (Nature & Eclectic Outdoors) initiatives to promote cultural diversity, understanding, and appreciation through food. However, NEO also works to fight food insecurity in historically marginalized communities. This work includes consulting on and helping to create school and community gardens and nutrition programs. Please check out our website to find out more.

I would love your input into an activity we can host in observance of World Food Day.
