Summary

Designates October 16, 2025, and October 16, 2026, as World Food Day and underscores U.S. attention to global hunger. The resolution notes that roughly 2.3 billion people were moderately or severely food insecure in 2024 and that women and children suffer the worst consequences. It links rising hunger to conflict and extreme weather and highlights that many people cannot afford a healthy diet. It encourages Americans to mark those days with ceremonies and activities and reaffirms U.S. support for humanitarian aid and investment in resilient agriculture.
