(VOVWORLD) - Since 1945, World Food Day is observed annually on October 16. World Food Day is not only about celebrating the amazing food that people have the privilege of indulging in, but it is about raising awareness for people who do not have such a privilege. This year will focus on the theme “Water Is Life, Water Is Food. Leave No One Behind”, aimed to highlight the critical role of water for life on earth and water as the foundation of our food. On this occasion, Dr. Qu Dongyu, Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), had an article underlining the importance of managing and protecting water, a finite, precious resource.
