October 16, 1945, was the founding date of the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Every year on this day, people around the globe gather to honor this important milestone as World Food Day and to rededicate ourselves to the international campaign underway to achieve, by 2030, the sustainable development goal of Zero Hunger.

Hear from heads of international organizations, companies, and trade associations who provide significant leadership in our global food system as they discuss global food topics including hunger relief, regenerative agriculture and sustainable development, food security and safety, and impacts of climate change. Presenters include David Beasley, Executive Director, United Nations World Food Programme – the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate; Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, Founder and Director, United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network; and more.

Presenting: Jeffrey Sachs, President, United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network, Director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University
