The slides
6 slides, and what to say on each
Before the first slide, spoken
Good morning respected teachers, esteemed judges, and fellow classmates. Today I present our findings on global food security and sustainable nutrition on World Food Day.
1Understanding World Food Day
Observed annually on October 16th
Commemorates UN FAO founding in 1945
Raises global awareness on hunger
Promotes sustainable food systems worldwide

Say
Respected teachers and dear friends, welcome to my presentation on World Food Day. This day is observed globally every October 16th to mark the founding of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in 1945. Its primary goal is to focus global attention on ending hunger, reducing malnutrition, and building resilient agricultural systems that can feed every community fairly.

2The Scale of Global Hunger
700 million experienced hunger in 2024
Represents 8.2% of world population
2.3 billion faced severe food insecurity
Access to quality food remains unequal
🖼 A pie chart showing global food insecurity levels alongside key statistics on hunger reduction.
Say
According to the UN FAO, approximately 700 million people, or 8.2 percent of the world population, experienced hunger in 2024. While this shows a gradual decline from earlier years, nearly 2.3 billion people still face moderate or severe food insecurity. This stark reality reminds us that accessing safe, sufficient food every single day remains a critical daily struggle for over a quarter of humanity.

3Nutritional Needs and Child Health
Infant nutrition faces critical challenges
Only 34% infants get required nutrients
Vitamins and minerals essential for growth
Malnutrition affects long term development
🖼 An infographic illustrating essential dietary standards for early childhood development.
Say
Nutrition during early childhood is vital for proper human development. Data from the UN FAO 2025 report reveals that only 34 percent of babies between 6 and 23 months meet the minimum dietary standards for essential vitamins and minerals. Addressing infant malnutrition is crucial because nutrient deficiencies at this early age permanently impact physical growth and cognitive potential.

4Food Loss and Household Waste
13% food lost post harvest
19% wasted in retail and homes
Severe supply chain inefficiency globally
Avoidable waste can feed communities
🖼 A flow diagram illustrating food loss from farm harvest to consumer retail waste.
Say
Food waste occurs at every stage of the supply chain. The FAO estimates that 13 percent of all food produced is lost after harvest before reaching stores, while another 19 percent is wasted at retail and consumer levels. In some nations, over half of produced food is wasted, with a significant portion being completely avoidable and capable of feeding vulnerable communities.

5Environmental Footprint of Agriculture
Food sector emits 30% greenhouse gases
Major driver of planetary boundary pressures
Sustainable supply chain research rising
Circular economy reduces agricultural harm
🖼 A bar chart depicting the percentage of global greenhouse gas emissions linked to agriculture.
Say
The EAT-Lancet Commission notes that the food sector accounts for roughly 30 percent of total global greenhouse gas emissions. This makes modern agriculture a primary contributor to environmental pressures. Thankfully, recent reviews show a strong surge in academic research on digital traceability, circular economy strategies, and collaborative supply chains to lessen this environmental footprint.

6Taking Action in Schools and Communities
Conduct food waste weigh-ins after meals
Host healthy food preparation workshops
Community educational outreach stands
Small daily habits make global impact
🖼 A collage showing school food weigh-in charts and community health education booths.
Say
Schools play a vital role in creating awareness. Activities like food waste weigh-ins help us measure leftover lunch food and cut down waste. At St. Marys Public School, young students celebrated World Food Day by making fresh salads, learning about healthy choices. Similarly, University of Mendoza students set up community stands offering health advice. Together, these practical steps help build a sustainable future.
