World Food Day annually promotes awareness of food and agricultural issues and celebrates the work of those concerned with food security.
This year, international figures recognized reducing postharvest losses as a necessary component of policymaking and action.
Remarks came from leaders including Pakistani President Zardari and Kenyan Agricultural Minister Dr. Sall Kosgey. Chinese grain officials organized a nation-wide “24-hours of hunger” movement to raise awareness of the importance of grain conservation in China.
