World Food Day is celebrated annually on October 16, with the aim of raising awareness of long-term food issues.
Thus, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, World Food Day 2025 calls for global collaboration to create a peaceful, sustainable, prosperous and food-secure future.
The theme for 2025 is “Hand in hand for better food and a better future”. This theme is particularly relevant in the context in which almost 700 million people suffer from hunger, and in other parts of the world, high levels of obesity and food waste indicate an unbalanced system, in which abundance and scarcity often coexist.
World Food Day 2025 also coincides with the 80th anniversary of the founding of FAO, highlighting the importance of collective action to ensure a sustainable and equitable food future. In many countries in the world, food and its security are not a problem, but there are also places where people face food crises, which endanger the existence of those communities. World Food Day was conceived precisely for this reason, to emphasize the fact that every individual must have access to decent food.
In Romania, it was established, on the same date, by Law no. 47/2016, National Day of Food and Combating Food Waste. During September-October 2025, campaigns such as "Be active, eat healthy!" are taking place in Romania, which promote healthy eating and physical activity..
Ms. Alina Chirilov, Geography teacher, organized an interesting activity on the occasion of World Food Day, in which students from different classes participated. World Food Day 2025 reminds us that every action matters – from what we put in our shopping carts to how we prevent food waste. Health starts on our plates, and a safer future for all is built hand in hand, through informed choices, responsible behaviors and community solidarity.
