World Food Day 2019

This Wednesday, 16 October 2019, World Food Day will call for action to make healthy and sustainable diets available and affordable to everyone. 

Collective action from over 150 countries has made World Food Day one of the UN’s most celebrated days. Hundreds of events and activities bring together not only governments, businesses, NGOs, the media, but also the general public to promote worldwide awareness and action for those who suffer from hunger.

Pink Lady® Food Photographer of the Year are proud to have three categories focusing on this humanitarian aspect of food.

 

World Food Programme Food for Life
Entries represent the humanitarian aspect of food, anywhere in the world, from food bringing people together to the healing and joy and people striving for normality in the most difficult circumstances.
