Today is !

For the world’s most vulnerable countries, food insecurity remains a major challenge.

This year’s theme, “Innovate today. Nourish tomorrow", makes it clear: transforming food systems requires innovation, investment and partnerships that reach those who need them most. This means tackling interconnected challenges across our food systems, reducing food loss, strengthening resilience and delivering on commitments such as the Food Stockholding Mechanism.

Our recent Feasibility Study on the Operationalization of the Food Stockholding Mechanism for the LDCs reinforces the urgency of transforming food systems, highlighting how climate shocks, conflict and economic instability continue to erode resilience, underscoring the need for more predictable and effective responses to food emergencies.
