On this #WorldFoodDay, let’s celebrate the people behind our food and the systems that keep it safe, sustainable, and accessible for all. 🌾 The theme this year, “Right to Food for a Better Life and a Better Future,” reminds us that food is not just a commodity, but a basic human right, while the world produces enough to feed its population, hunger still affects 10% globally. At Farm To Plate, we believe in the power of transparency to create a more sustainable, equitable food system—one that works for everyone. But today, our focus goes beyond technology; it’s about recognizing our collective responsibility. Today is a reminder that the journey to #foodsecurity is ongoing, and every action counts. From Farm to fork, we can all play a part in ensuring that food is available, accessible, and affordable for all.🍽️ #RightToFood #FoodForAll #FoodJustice #sustainablefood

Today, we come together to recognize the urgent need for sustainable food systems that ensure access to nutritious food for everyone. The theme of ending hunger is not just a goal, it's a responsibility for businesses across the food and allied industries. As leaders in food production, processing, and packaging, "we have the power to make a difference". By fostering innovation, reducing food waste, and ensuring fair access to food, we can build a future where no one goes hungry. Let's challenge ourselves to: - Adopt sustainable practices that reduce waste and environmental impact - Collaborate across sectors to ensure food reaches the most vulnerable - Work toward a zero-hunger world, where healthy food is a right, not a privilege It’s not just about feeding people—it’s about feeding futures, removing hunger, and nourishing communities. Let’s commit to a future where every plate is full and every person is fed. Together, we can make the vision of #ZeroHunger a reality. #WorldFoodDay | #SustainableFoodSystems | #ZeroWaste #ZeroHunger | #FoodForAll | Brijesh Edwards | Savitha Srinivasan
