The Government of Rwanda joined the rest of the world to celebrate the World Food Day on 16th October to bring awareness to global hunger.

The theme for this year was "Family Farming: Feeding the World, Caring for the Earth.”

Information from FAO and World Food Programme indicates that the world over, a total of 805 million people go without food. This comes amidst increasing use of technologies, which as well comes with population spiral, climate change, ozone layer depletion in some parts of the earth and a plethora of other happenings in man’s interaction with the environment.
