🔊 #WorldFoodDay2024 Food is the third most basic human need after air and water – everyone should have the right to adequate food. 🍎🥦 Dietitians-nutritionists play a vital role in ensuring that this right is met by guiding individuals and communities toward healthier, more sustainable diets. Their expertise bridges the gap between food availability and optimal health, empowering people to make informed choices. 🥗💡 Human rights such as the right to food, life and liberty, work, and education are recognised by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and two legally binding international covenants. 📜🌍 Only when everyone enjoys the human right to adequate food will we be able to achieve other human rights and the Sustainable Development Goals. 🌱🎯 We all have a role to play. Governments, the private sector, farmers, academia, civil society, nutrition professionals, and individuals need to work together to ensure a greater variety of nutritious, affordable, accessible, safe, and sustainable foods in order to achieve food security and healthy diets for all. 🍽️🌾 Together, we can be the change. 💪🌟 More info here: https://lnkd.in/gXd-FPH2 #ICDA #RightToFood #SustainableFoodSystems #FoodSecurity #BeTheChange
