Before you grab a plate of food, remember that TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16 IS WORLD FOOD DAY. In 1979, The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations established October 16 as World Food Day. On this day, people unite to bring awareness to hunger. Around the world, about 1 in 7 people are undernourished. But here on campus, the issue of hunger often escapes our mind when we're constantly surrounded by food. It can be difficult to imagine hunger, so we have provided a list of events for you to participate in to remember the importance of food in our everyday lives! Add these to your calendar! THIS IS FOOD WEEK. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16 World Food Day (ALL DAY, EVERYWHERE) Watch and share this video on hunger: http://youtu.be/udl9K6L1ekI Appreciate your food as you go through the day.
