30 October, Kathmandu. World Food Day is being celebrated today with various programs around the world. Celebrated every year on October 16, this day emphasizes the need to end hunger and malnutrition and ensure the availability of sufficient, safe and nutritious food for all.
The theme of World Food Day 2026 is 'Today's Innovation: Tomorrow's Nutrition'. This year's slogan conveys the message of ensuring food security for future generations by increasing the use of technology, data and innovation in agriculture and food systems.
