World Food Day is celebrated every year around the world on 16 October in honor of the date of the founding of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in 1945. The day is celebrated widely by many other organisations concerned with food security, including the World Food Programme and the International Fund for Agricultural Development. The theme for this year is “Change the future of migration. Invest in food security and rural development.”

The World Food Day 2017 Activity Book has packed some creative answers to these questions in a series of suitcases illustrated by Lorenzo Terranera. Suitcases open to reveal solutions to migration challenges, showing how the global goal to reach Zero Hunger can address many of the reasons that cause people to migrate. Learn how you can become part of the Zero Hunger Generation! Download the activity book…
