I have no words to describe the terrifying findings of Food and Agriculture Organization's #SOFI2019: - #Hunger is rising, due to #conflict, #climatechange & economic slowdowns - #Overweight & #obesity continue to increase - 2 billion people don't have regular access to safe, nutritious, sufficient #food
Children around the world dream of becoming doctors๐ฉโโ๏ธ, teachers๐ฉโ๐ซ, parents๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ง, and even superheroes๐ฆธโโ๏ธ Whatever their dreams are, good nutrition and a full stomach can help them to get there. In 2018 WFP implemented school feeding programmes in 71 countries #BacktoSchool
This is huge! Mexico passes law to put warning labels on unhealthy food. A major win in the battle against #obesity, this shows whatโs possible when thereโs strong, well-organized advocacy to fight back against Big Food opposition.

Governments and the private sector must step up to make healthy diets more available, affordable and accessible for all. Read our recent blog on preventative action to combat #obesity ๐ bit.ly/2xaM68D courtesy of WCRF International #WorldObesityDay
โ๏ธ#ZeroHunger isn't possible with food loss + food waste โ๏ธWhen we waste food, we waste labour, ๐ฐ & precious natural resources that went into making that food โ๏ธFood and Agriculture Organization is helping farmers in Uganda adopt innovations to reduce food loss & food waste. How are you helping? #FLWDay
