World Food Day was Oct. 16. This special day commemorates the founding of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), a specialized agency that works in more than 130 countries worldwide to defeat hunger.
This year's theme -- "Right to foods for a better life and a better future -- emphasizes that everyone should have access to enough nutritious, diverse, affordable and safe foods. And at no time is this access to high-quality nutrition more important than during a child's first 1,000 days.
