Every year, on October 16, the world celebrates World Food Day. A moment intended to increase awareness about the importance of healthy, safe and nutritious food for all groups. World Food Day is a global commemoration day dedicated to honoring the hard work of farmers and food producers and raising awareness about the challenges faced in achieving global food security. The main goal is to empower communities to understand and address food issues such as hunger, malnutrition, and food security.

The agricultural sector plays an important role in World Food Day. Farmers and food producers are the main actors who work hard every day to provide food for every human being. For this reason, sustainable agricultural methods and support for small farmers are needed to ensure that everyone has access to sufficient and nutritious food. Indonesia itself has a close relationship with the celebration of Food Day. As an agricultural country, Indonesia is one of the largest food producers in the world. Superior products such as rice, coffee, and palm oil are a source of life for millions of farmers in this country. World Food Day is an opportunity for Indonesia to celebrate the success of the agricultural sector and highlight the challenges such as climate change, price stability, availability of capital, farmer welfare, and other factors that can influence food production. read more
