World Food Day is celebrated every year around the world on 16 October to promote worldwide awareness and action for those who suffer from hunger and the need to ensure food security and nutritious diets for all

World Food day with the needy was celebrated at FIFA U17 world cup on Monday.

 Minimising food waste was one of the initiatives of the FIFA U-17 World Cup India 2017.

The local organising committee teamed up with Feeding India, the country’s largest youth-run, not-for-profit organisation to help alleviate the problem of hunger, malnutrition and food waste in India.

Feeding India volunteers, called “Hunger Heroes”, are also part of the team of volunteers for the FIFA U-17 World Cup, and are helping to donate leftover food at all six tournament venues to shelter homes.
