World Food Day

Rising food costs pushed nearly 70 million people into extreme poverty.

The theme for 2011 is "food prices - from crisis to stability". the day is celebrated every year October 16 in honor of the date of the founding of the food and agriculture organization (F A O) of the united nations in 1945. each year has a different theme.

India’s National Advisory Council has recently completed a draft bill of the National Food Security Act, which aims to improve food access for the country’s poorest communities. Although India has a rapidly growing economy, it is still home to 25 percent of the world’s hungry, and this act is an important way of improving food security in the country.
