    THE SECRETARY-GENERAL
    -MESSAGE ON WORLD FOOD DAY
    16 October 2015
    This years observance of World Food Day follows the landmark adoption by world leaders of
    the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, including a set of 17 goals to guide our work
    towards a future of dignity and prosperity for all on a healthy planet.
    How we choose to grow, process, distribute and consume the food we eat has a profound
    effect on people, planet, prosperity and peace. Delivering on the promise of the 2030 Agenda
    will not be possible without rapid progress towards ending hunger and undernutrition. In the
    same way, delivering on the commitment to end hunger forever, for all people, will not be
    possible without major gains across the new Agenda.
    Sustainable Development Goal 2 summons us to end hunger, achieve food security and
    improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture. The world has achieved important
    progress; since 2000, the proportion of undernourished people has declined by nearly half. At
    the same time, in a world where nearly a third of all food produced is lost or wasted, and
    where we produce enough food to feed everyone, almost 800 million people still suffer from
    hunger. The path out of poverty is proving to be too slow for too many.
    The theme for World Food Day 2015 -- Social Protection and Agriculture: Breaking the Cycle
    of Rural Poverty -- highlights the crucial role of cash transfers, insurance, pensions and other
    social protection programmes in enabling vulnerable people to better manage risks and build
    profitable livelihoods.
    The Zero Hunger Challenge that I launched in 2012 underscores the need for national
    leadership in tandem with wide-ranging multi-stakeholder partnerships. Ending hunger is
    everyones responsibility. Farmers, scientists, international organizations, activists,
    businesses and consumers all have a role to play. Building inclusive, resilient and sustainable
    food systems also demands that we empower women farmers, provide opportunities for
    young people and invest in smallholder farmers.
    Hunger is more than a lack of food it is a terrible injustice. On World Food Day, let us
    reaffirm our commitment to work together to end to hunger in our lifetime.
