WORLD FOOD DAY 2016 - VISIT THE FACUTY OF AGRICULTURE STAND AT THE SALON DE L'AGRICULTURE






Every 16 October since 1979, World Food Day has been an occasion to focus on what is most important in the never-ending task of feeding the world. In 2016, a year that is shaping up to be far and away the hottest on record, that focus is especially sharp. The day’s theme leaves no room for doubt: “Climate is changing. Food and agriculture must too.” Why such an air of certainty? Because the rise in temperatures, and in the frequency of weather-related disasters such as droughts and floods, is already hitting food producers hard. At the same time, agricultural production needs to be entering a boom, not a bust, to have hopes of feeding a global population that is projected to reach 9.6 billion by 2050. CTA (2015).
