What are we eating today?

Some people decide on the spot in the supermarket what to eat today. Others don't know if they will eat today, even though enough food is being produced worldwide for everyone. That's one of the things we're focusing on today, World Food Day.

Complex problem
Enough food is produced for everyone, yet nearly 1 billion people in the world suffer from hunger. It is a complex problem resulting from global conflicts, opaque trade and disproportionate use of natural resources.

Awareness
This issue has been worked on all year. Consumers are increasingly thinking about what they put on their plate and more and more companies are trying to find sustainable solutions in the field of food. On World Food Day we pay extra attention to it.
