On World Food Day on October 16th we commemorate the foundation of FAO on 1945, and also the pursuit to ensure right and nourishing food for everyone in the world. On this day, more than 150 countries are organizing programs, bringing this event to one of the most important days of the United Nations. The recently published statement of FAO gave a sad actuality to the donation convoy this year: after a decade's improving trend, the number of hungry people has risen again, while the currently produced food would be enough to supply the entire population of our Land.

“The HFBA considers it very important to draw attention to the overwhelming duality of food waste and famine. However, it is also important for us, that many food companies have already realized that we can only jointly deal with waste. This day is about to show that the government, FAO, food industry, trading companies and the HFBA are able to bring together a change, "said Balázs Cseh, president of the HFBA.
