World Hunger Day 2025: Empowering Communities for Sustainable Food Security

Every year on May 28, World Hunger Day reminds the global community of the urgent need to address hunger and food insecurity, affecting over 800 million people worldwide.
Founded in 2011 by The Hunger Project, this day goes beyond raising awareness—it calls for long-term, sustainable solutions that empower individuals and communities to break the cycle of poverty and hunger.
World Hunger Day 2025 continues this legacy by urging collective action through education, advocacy, and support for local development initiatives that promote food sovereignty and resilience.
World Hunger Day 2025 is observed globally on Wednesday, May 28, with campaigns aimed at highlighting the root causes of hunger and advocating for policies and practices that empower vulnerable communities.
This year's focus underscores the importance of locally led development, climate-resilient agriculture, and gender equality in achieving Zero Hunger, a key UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 2).
