Enough food is produced today to feed everyone on the planet.

You read that right.

The problem is access & availability of nutritious food, which is increasingly impeded by multiple challenges.

🧵👇

These include #COVID19 pandemic, conflict, the #ClimateCrisis, inequality, rising prices & international tensions, & they are threatening our #FoodSecurity.

People around the world are suffering the domino effects of challenges that know no borders.

Our goal is to build a world where everyone, everywhere has regular access to enough nutritious food. A world where no one is left behind.

Ahead of this #WorldFoodDay, we want to share a few inspiring stories of #FoodHeroes who are helping to build a better world for all.

Bridging the digital divide is essential to transform our agrifood systems & leave no one behind.
