World Food Day is celebrated on October 16th to remember the founding of the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in 1945 and to raise awareness about hunger and the need for food for everyone. For Class 5, the article can focus on what World Food Day is, why it is important (getting food for everyone and eating healthy), and what we can do to help. 

What is World Food Day?

Every year on October 16th, the world celebrates World Food Day. 

This day was created by the United Nations to remind everyone about the importance of food. 

It is a day to learn about hunger and how we can make sure everyone has enough food to eat. 

Why is World Food Day important?

For health: Healthy food gives us the energy and nutrients we need to grow, play, work, and learn. 

For everyone: Millions of people around the world do not have enough food, and this day is a chance to think about how to help them. 

For the planet: It is also about making sure we use our food and water in a way that is good for the Earth for a long time. 

What can we do?

Eat healthy: Try to eat a variety of healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains every day.

Don't waste food: Avoid wasting food. Make sure you eat the food on your plate or save it for later.

Be thankful: Be thankful for the food you have and remember to share it with others.
