50 Ways We Can Participate In World Food Day Celebration

16th October is World Food Day. It’s celebrated annually in honour of FAO’s birthday. It’s one of the minor holidays I have a reminder on my phone. Why? Because it’s World Food Day. Food Day. FOOD. I love food. You love food. We love food. It’s more than enough reason to celebrate!

50 Ways To Celebrate World Food Day

1. Immerse yourself in another culture by trying a new cuisine as they say the best way to experience a culture is through its’ food.
