Our climate is changing. And we want you to tell us why food and
agriculture must too. There are two ways you can do this. Design a
poster or produce a video on the World Food Day theme to enter the
competition.
Poster Contest
We’re calling on children and teens all over the world, from age 5 to 19, to use their imagination and create a poster that illustrates this year’s World Food Day theme. Young minds will be inspired by Lorenzo Terranera’s illustrations as they see their favourite fairytale characters identify solutions to climate change and hunger in an enchanted world.
Our everyday actions and decisions all have an impact on the climate. Climate change is affecting our planet and changing our world. It’s causing more natural disasters and environmental problems, which make it harder for us to grow food. Growing food is part of the problem too, as we have been taking shortcuts and harming our planet more so as to produce what we need to survive. In order to feed a growing population, set to reach 9.6 billion by the year 2050, we’ll need to learn to grow what we need in a way that doesn’t continue to damage the planet.
The World Food Day poster contest calls on children and teens from 5-19 to use their imaginations and express their ideas on the World Food Day theme: "Climate is changing. Food and agriculture must too."
