World Food Day is celebrated every year on 16 October.Collective action across 150 countries is what makes World Food Day one of the most celebrated days of the UN calendar. Doc.: FAO

Sustainable agrifood system is therefore a way in which a variety of sufficient, nutritious and safe food becomes available at an affordable price to everyone, and nobody remains hungry or suffers from any form of malnutrition or obesity.

Be sustainable from the farm to table

The Agrifood systems employ 1 billion people worldwide, more than any other economic sector. Moreover, the way we produce, consume and, sadly, waste food exacts a heavy toll on our planet, putting unnecessary pressure on natural resources, the environment and climate. Food production too often degrades or destroys natural habitats and contributes to the extinction of species.

FAO has been working hand in hand with the Government of Indonesia and contributing to ensure sustainable agriculture development in the country. 

Since 2019, FAO has been supporting National Development Planning Agency (BAPPENAS)  in a nation-wide agri-food system analysis and provided several recommendations to improve its sustainability in Indonesia. The development of a National Food Agency, to coordinate agri-food systems’ related issues in the country and support to agri-food system planning, as the part of capacity building processes , were part of the FAO support to BAPPENAS.

FAO is also supporting the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF) to sustain the forest and peatland to cope with the impacts of climate change. 

“We need collective actions to transform our agri-food systems. Everyone must understand that their treatment to food affects the food system. The global transformation only can happen if it starts with individuals. The way you choose, produce, consume and waste your food influence others. . We need to act, and it must be now, and let us put our efforts together in whatever capacity we can“, added Rajendra.

World Food Day is celebrated every year on 16 October. Collective action across 150 countries is what makes World Food Day one of the most celebrated days of the UN calendar.
