"World Food Day" Monthly Collaborative Event WORLD FOOD NIGHT

It is a month when we think about hunger and food problems and work together to resolve them, triggered by World Food Day on October 16.
In Japan, October of World Food Day is designated as World Food Day Month since 2008, and NGOs/NPOs, and international organizations working to resolve hunger and food problems on a daily basis are jointly disseminating information.

The world produces enough food for all people to eat, but one in ten people is not enough.
On the other hand, one-third of the food produced in the world is thrown away.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which aim to solve various issues such as poverty, inequality, and climate change, aims to "zero hunger" and reduce food loss by 2030. However, changing the world requires many people to take action.

Thank you very much for your participation.
The "Past Event Report" will be updated as soon as they are ready.

In conjunction with the Food Loss Reduction Month and World Food Day Month in October, Resources and Waste Recycling Bureau will host an online event, WORLD FOOD NIGHT 2023 with Yokohama.

In this event, under the theme of "My Table Connected to the World", we will invite three experts who are familiar with the world's food situation, and while learning about the world's food problems with the participants, We will consider how the "small actions" that can be done in daily life will lead to the solution of the world's food problems.
