Gearing up for the World Food Day.

Join the global movement on October 16th to end hunger. Be a part of the solution and take action your community and around the world. We can end hunger or it will take all of us. This is the message each community developer or worker around the globe and especially Africa is putting up with.
History states that World Food Day (WFD) was established by FAO’s Member Countries at the Organization’s 20th General Conference in November 1945. The Hungarian Delegation, led by the former Hungarian Minister of Agriculture and Food, Dr. Pal Romany has played an active role at the 20th Session of the FAO Conference and suggested the idea of celebrating the WFD worldwide. It has been observed every year in more than 150 countries, raising awareness of the issues behind poverty and hunger.


Since 1981, World Food Day has adopted a different theme each year, in order to highlight areas needed for action and provide a common focus. Most of the themes have always revolved around agriculture because only investment in agriculture-together with support for education and health-will turn this situation around; that is why ALIN and Kobama Ministry of Agriculture are running up and down to set up demo sites that will deliver the desired message freedom from hunger in relation to simple practical scientifically proven production methodologies. We are working with two farmer groups based in Aora Chuodho and Got Kowiti. We shall keep you updated as we progress.
