"World Food Day"

Apparently, October 16th has been designated "World Food Day". Possibly little to do with veg*ism but definitely connected with its (for many) most important aspect, there could be a couple of gem videos. Watch here

Apparently, October 16th has been designated "World Food Day".

On October 16, 1945, the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) was established. The organisation's logo is a blade of wheat and its Latin motto, "fiat panis", translates to "let there be bread"; an apt representation of the work the FAO has undertaken since its inception, with the lead focus of eliminating world hunger.

For almost four decades, October 16 has been celebrated to raise awareness of the FAO's main working areas, including building sustainable agriculture and fishery industries, eliminating poverty, implementing inclusive agriculture foundations and the aforementioned goal of reducing, and eventually abolishing malnutrition, food insecurity and hunger.

To mark World Food Day, Al Jazeera looks back at some of our most memorable food-related documentaries, from the celebration of the intrinsically-linked relationship between food and culture to the problems with inflation on the most basic of foodstuffs and the politics of food in the heart of conflict zones.

Possibly little to do with veg*ism but definitely connected with its (for many) most important aspect, there could be a couple of gem videos.
