About this tool
The World Food Day Countdown shows exactly how much time is left — in days, hours, minutes, and seconds — until World Food Day, updating in real time.
When is World Food Day?
World Food Day is observed on October 16 every year. If today's date has already passed this year's date, the countdown automatically switches to next year's occurrence.
What is World Food Day?
The date marks the founding of the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization in 1945, and the day is used to raise awareness of hunger, food security, and sustainable agriculture around the world.
Why use a countdown?
A countdown helps schools, NGOs, and food banks plan events or donation drives ahead of the day.
