World Food Day 2013 focused on changing perspectives around food security to include adequate production, access, nutritional value, and waste reduction. A food system incorporates all steps from inputs like seeds and fertilizers, through production, storage, transport, trade and retail, to the consumer. While technology helps, consumers must also think globally and act locally to address our needs in a sustainable way.

Think Globally, act locally
Happy to see a World Food Day
which focuses on CONSUMERS
and their needs. Technology is good
but it will not save us from
ourselves.
