World Food Day Event Features U of G Researchers

Water is life, water is food, is the theme of this year’s World Food Day, a United Nations annual event that promotes action on the future of food.

With the aim of raising awareness about the profound impact of water in our agri-food systems, University of Guelph and Arrell Food Institute researchers working at the intersection of water and food will help highlight stories of hope and success at the official North American World Food Day 2023 event, to be held Monday, Oct. 16 at Simon Fraser University. 

The event will be streamed to a global audience on YouTube. 

Water is essential to life on Earth and the foundation of our food system. While hundreds of millions of people who rely on aquatic food systems face challenges of pollution and ecosystem degradation, there are still successes to celebrate.
