World Food Day | 16 October 2025: Food for All: Working Together for Resilient, Equitable, and Sustainable Agrifood Systems

The call for Food for All demands more than just efficient agricultural production—it calls for a genuine spirit of collaboration. The magnitude of food shortages and waste reflects the urgent crises of hunger, inequality, climate stress, and land degradation— far too complex for any single actor to solve alone.

Collaborative efforts must therefore focus on building Agrifood Systems that is:
a) Resilient  by ensuring access to nutritious food and secure livelihoods, capable of withstanding shocks and disruptions;
b) Equitable by guaranteeing access to resources and securing the tenure rights of marginalized groups; and
c) Sustainable through food production practices that regenerate soil, conserve water, promote biodiversity, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

This year’s World Food Day (WFD) theme calls on everyone – governments, civil society, research institutions, farmers, and the private sector, to bridge divides, uphold land rights, and innovate sustainably. Together, we must strive for abundance that benefits all – not just some, where land, people, and planet truly thrive.
