The FAO Liaison Office in Geneva, the ma-terre Association, 2050Today and Fondation Partage came together to celebrate World Food Day 2025 on 16 October. This was a very special edition, as the FAO celebrated its 80th anniversary.
Organised at The Fab, located on the second floor of the Geneva Graduate Institute, the day provided a fun and participatory way to raise awareness of local and global food issues. Through several interactive quizzes on the Kahoot platform, participants were able to test their knowledge on a variety of topics: food security, sustainability of agri-food systems, the fight against waste and the right to food.
As in the previous edition, several themed stands enlivened the participants’ journey:
The FAO presented its actions to strengthen food security and promote the right to adequate food around the world.
Ma-terre, the Maison de l’Alimentation du Territoire de Genève, showcased local initiatives and collaborations in the region.
Fondation Partage highlighted its actions to combat food waste and its commitment to helping people in precarious situations in Geneva.
At the end of each session, the participants with the highest scores won prizes offered by the organising entities.
It was a friendly and informative event where everyone was able to learn more about the food challenges of today and tomorrow, while participating in a collective experience marked by solidarity and sharing.
