Why food is life
Celebrating World Food Day on October 16th
Every man, woman and child must have access to healthy and nutritious food now and into the future. This is essential for quality of life.
But the competition for natural resources has never been more intense. The production of enough food is one of the most challenging tasks that farmers face today. That is why farming is the biggest job on earth.
Today is World Food Day. Time to thank all farmers.
Farming, the biggest job on earth.
