A Message from Food Day 2014:
Today is the day we have all been planning for! Hundreds of events and activities have already taken place to kick off Food Day celebrations with thousands more scheduled over the next few days. As you know, justice throughout the food chain—from farm workers to child consumers—is a special focus for Food Day this year. We hope that however you celebrate Food Day, you will consider some of the important food justice-related problems that need to be addressed.
