WORLD FOOD DAY

This weekend was WORLD FOOD DAY (October 16, 2010). 

The theme of this year’s observance is United against hunger, chosen to recognize the efforts made in the fight against world hunger at national, regional and international levels. Uniting against hunger becomes real when state and civil society organizations and the private sector work in partnership at all levels to defeat hunger, extreme poverty and malnutrition.

Did you know that less than 3% of the 250 000 plant species available to agriculture are in use today.  (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations)
