The WCC Food for Life Campaign, with the support of the Food & Agriculture Organization, and the World Food Programme held an interactive panel discussion at the Ecumenical Centre in Geneva on 22 October, titled “Healthy Diets for a #ZeroHunger World,” which was the theme for World Food Day 2019.

Food is central to life and our faith. It is a blessing and a gift of God, in the form of the abundant creation which we depend on for our sustenance. Food is also a reflection of the quality of our relationships with each other- our caring for the other and the sharing of resources and the hospitality we show each other. Food is central to our worship life, our liturgy and the Eucharist, which helps us to be one with God and with each other.
