World Food Day 2019 Why and How It is Celebrated
Happy World Food Day 2019
The day is widely celebrated by many other organizations that are concerned with food security, comprising the World Food Programme as well as the International Fund for Agricultural Development.
World Food Day (WFD) was founded in the year 1979 (November) by FAO’s Member Countries at the Organization’s 20th General Conference. The Hungarian Delegation which has been led by the former Hungarian Minister of Agriculture and Food Dr. Pál Romány, played an active role at the 20th Session of the FAO Conference. He was the one who suggested the idea of celebrating the WFD on international level. It has since been celebrated in more than 150 countries every year, raising awareness of the subjects or matters behind poverty as well as hunger.
