Today is the World Food Day 2014! This years theme: Family Farming: “Feeding the world, caring for the earth” - has been chosen to raise the profile of family farming and smallholder farmers. It focuses world attention on the significant role of family farming in eradicating hunger and poverty, providing food security and nutrition, improving livelihoods, managing natural resources, protecting the environment, and achieving sustainable development, in particular in rural areas. A Joint statement has been prepared by Commissioners Andris Piebalgs (Development aid) and Kristalina Georgieva (Humanitarian aid) on this occasion.
