Healthy Diets for a #zerohunger ( African ) woman and world . Ngore Africa Center for Women Empowerment and Development (NACWED) commemorates the "World Food Day" today Wednesday, October 16th ; under the theme : “Our Actions Are Our Future. Healthy Diets for A #ZeroHunger World".
The main focus of this day is that food is a basic and fundamental human right.
Every 16 October, the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations celebrates its founding day in 1945 on what is called “World Food Day”. The day is observed in some 150 countries worldwide and is among the best well known and most participated in of all UN observances. Thus, it is not just an in-house celebration for the FAO.
Over 10 percent of the world’s population suffers from hunger despite the fact that plenty of food is produced to feed everyone. And over a third of all food ends up going to waste, a problem particularly prevalent in wealthy Western countries. These are the kinds of facts that are behind the drive to eliminate world hunger by 2030, the UN’s “Zero Hunger” goal.
NACWED observed this day by sensitizing the public on healthy feeding habits , with more Specifications being thrown to women and girls . This is because in our African culture food concerns are mostly handled by women . Therefore empowering women to take onto healthy dieting , is empowering households , communities , nations and the world at large .
NACWED raised awareness about world hunger, how famines and crop failures displace millions of people, the importance of owning even a small garden of mixed farming and on how eating nutritious, balanced diets can benefit us all.
Poor nutrition early in life reduces learning potential, increases reproductive and maternal health risks, and lowers productivity .
After our door to door sensitisation on the advantages of a healthy diet and eating time ,

Happy World Food Day 2019 .
