World Food Day
https://www.fao.org/world-food-day/
Last 16th October the World Food Day has been celebrated as every year since 1981. An opportunity to (re)think how we manage a finite resource, the water, in degradation and over-exploited by sectors such as agriculture and industry.
Water is essential to life on Earth. It covers the majority of the Earth's surface, makes up over 50% of our bodies, produces our food, and supports livelihoods.
But this precious resource is not infinite and we need to stop taking it for granted. What we eat, and how that food is produced all affect water. That's way we celebrate every year The Word Water Day
Together, we can take water action for food and be the change.
- Theme 2023: "Water is Life"
With the slogan ‘’Water is life, water is food. Leave no one behind’’ the campaign, is communicating in over 50 languages across more than 150 countries.
FAO/ UN are calling for action from governments, the private sector, civil society, and individuals, including youth, to safeguard water.

As you could read, there's a good number of resources and activities to motivate your students of different ages, to understand since little kids how important is Water! They will understand that #WaterIsFood and they must manage this finite resource.
And remember them they are lucky kids and adolescents in a world have no water no food. 780 millions of people are in crisis.
I'm sure your will do a good job by helping students in different lessons to partcipate on WaterAction.
As you always know activities will depend from the level and ages you are teaching!
Have a good job and be safe!
