Overcoming hunger is one of humanity’s great challenges, said Pope Francis on World Food Day. The Pope suggested we must adopt innovative solutions to change the way we produce and consume food. It should be for the well being of people and of the planet. The Holy Father was giving a message to the Director General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN.
“The annual celebration of World Food Day brings us face with one of humanity’s greatest challenges: overcoming hunger once and for all is an ambitious goal,” Pope Francis wrote to Qu Dongyu, the Director General of Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN. The Pontiff emphasized on our actions that defined our future. Hence the urge of better production, better nutrition, better environment and a better life is to be considered by each one of us.
The Pope also pointed out the need to encourage the producers and consumers to make ethical and sustainable choices and raise awareness among the younger generations to make an important role to create the world without hunger.
