World Food Day
Food and Agriculture Origination proclaimed that October 16 of every year as World Food Day to create awareness of the right for food, need for food, quality of food etc.
Due to poverty in the underdeveloped countries huge number of people die every year. So the intense of the occasion of this day is that everyone in this globe should think of those people who are in poverty and help those through our helping hands because every human deserve the right to food. And also to the developed and developing countries it is their duty to provide the ‘GOOD FOOD’ to all.
Food Quality:
Ultimately, we lack the meaning of this frame; as today we get food contaminated in contaminated form in many occasions. From water to food, everything is contaminated. Even if the food materials are good, making food with contaminated water make it non-edible, which is meaningless.
Duties:
Considering our Indian nation still there are many places which are marked as under poverty. Many people are struggling to get food. So at this moment it is necessary to think of some duties we should render towards our nation.
i) Take care of the poor people in your locality. For some functions call those and serve them.
ii) “Eat whatever you take, but Don’t waste what you take”- Let’s keep this as the mantra of this Years theme.
iii) Many quintals of food grains go waste from the country Godowns due to the lack of preventive and safety handling measures. Mostly due to the insects and animals like rats. Also while transporting many spillings go waste. So, careful transport mechanisms should be handled. If this is controlled then the controlled portion can be donated to the people living in poverty.
iv) From the cultivation point of view, the food organization should recommend the farmers to use the natural fertilizers like bio-fertilizers only. Because today’s artificial fertilizers aim at good yield but they leave the land infertility due to the concentration of chemicals. Also the underground water gets contaminated.
So if we are careful at Agriculture, Transport and Usage perspectives we can fight Poverty and delete that word from passing to next generation.

in my opinion, 200 words is inadequate to extensively deal with a yopic of intrernational dimension like World Food Day.A well thought-out article would go for ten times of that.

A wide use of media and other steps were carried out to communicate this year's World Food Day (WFD) theme: "International Alliance Against Hunger" in various Asian countries.
At regional level, the call to create an "International Alliance Against Hunger" is seeing advancements in the Asian region as the FAO regional office in Bangkok is organizing on 17 October a meeting for stabilizing an Asia-Pacific alliance against hunger.
As you probably know, the highest hunger country is India, which is 50% and Africa, Asia both together 40%. The rest is Latin America. There are many problems that make these country s’ hunger increase. First, most people in the world, don’t have enough money to buy food. Since people don’t have money, the other problem is that the people don’t have money, the other problem is that the people can’t learn. And also they are too weak to be educated ; they didn't eat. Unfortunately, these people, how matter they are intelligent; they have no choice to be educated. Because to learn, they need money, but also energy. It would be better if this was the only problem. We can at least build schools and help solving he food problems. However, there are many natural disasters that cause a negative affect.
Many companies have tried to help, some think it’s generous to give food to the needing; it is kind but once that food is finished what will they do? Give someone corn, he’ll eat for a day. Teach someone to grow corn, he’ll eat for as long as he lives. Education is important, but we are selfish, we want to keep food for ourselves. Humans are smarter than this, if we can invent amazing contraptions like cars and robots, why can’t we cooperate and find a way to end world hunger? All this technology, all these famous scientists can’t figure out the simplest problem. We need to work together to make a difference and believe where there is a will there is a way.

World Food Day is celebrated every year on 16 October to commemorate the founding of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in 1945. World Food Day aims to heighten public awareness of the plight of the world's hungry and malnourished and to encourage people worldwide to take action against hunger. More than 150 countries observe this event every year. In the United States, 450 national, private voluntary organizations sponsor World Food Day, and local groups are active in almost every community. First observed in 1981, each year World Food Day highlights a particular theme on which to focus activities.
FOOD CRISIS and other problems in India:
you must have heard prices of food has risen 100% in 2 months which is shocking. Even middle class is in trouble forget lower class.
whatever you may call, India booming, multiplex blah blah that 6 figure salaries but India is still a very poor country.
problem of population is big rot and causes poverty,unemployment etc etc..
Do you think that India should adopt china model of ONE CHILD???????
I think its high time or we are going dead in long term
Thanks and regards

World food day has been proclaimed on 16th Octoner by FAO an organization of UNO.
Food the most basic need of a living creature whether its human beings, animals, plants or micro organism because it is an essential item for survival.
The importance of this day was not given earlier as globally we never suffered such a crisis what we are facing these days as the food items being the major reason for increasingf inflation globally.
US blaming India as a major consumer, still starvation is on the peak here. In the recent past agriculture was not on the priority list of our Country and was just a political agenda, but the consequence are evident, so it is now ut most necessary to take this as a serious note and have some targetted plan to increase the agro products and this will be the main acheivement and the best way to celebrate this day.
As per report more than 923 million people suffer from hunger and malnutrition and if the current global crisis remains unabated then there may be exponential rise in the number.
OBJECTIVES OF WORLD FOOD DAY :-
1. The first and utmost important is to increase public awareness about the problem of hunger and malnutrition.
2. To encourage the attention to increase production and this can be done by promoting agriculture and promoting farmers.
Our Government has done a great job in waiving 70000 Crores loan of the farmers and now farming may be a charming industry which was not considered earlier.
3. To fight jointly with other Countries against hunger and malnutrition and to encourage global production.
4. To exchange technologies to have a better yeild.]
5. To encourage economic and technical cooperation among all developing countries.
6. Last but not the least involvement of rural population as much as we can, as the agriculture at least in our Country is based at rural areas and without involvement of rural people the goal may remain unacheived.
CONCLUSION :-
The basic concept of World Food Day is to fight against hunger and poverty and its the duty of every individual to contribute. We are not farmers but we can contribute by increasing awareness, decreasing wastage and judicial utilization of food.
The God fearing people must understand that providing food to a starved person is one step nearer to God and if we can contribute in fighting against it then we can have several steps nearer to God.
LETS PLEDGE THAT THIS 16TH OCTOBER WE WILL CONTRIBUTE BY ANY MEANS TO FIGHT AGAINST STARVATION AND MALNUTRITION.
