The World Food Day (WFD), established by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in 1981 and observed annually on October 16, aims to raise global awareness of food-related issues, promote actions to fight hunger, and ensure everyone has access to sufficient food. The theme of the WFD 2024, “Right to Foods for a Better Life and a Better Future”, emphasized the urgent need to transform agrifood systems to become more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable.

Vinod Ahuja, FAO Representative ad interim for China and DPR Korea; Zhao Lijun, Deputy Director-General of the Agricultural Trade Promotion Center at China's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs; and Li Fujun, Director-General of the China Grain Research and Training Center attended the event and delivered opening speeches. They underscored the critical role of food security in national stability and highlighted China's significant achievements in improving food security and reducing poverty. The speakers also praised the strong collaboration between China and FAO, noting the alignment of China's National Food Security Publicity Week with global efforts to safeguard food security.

This event, as an important part of the 798 International Art Season, further underscores 798·751's crucial role in global cultural exchange. “Just as food requires fertile soil and careful cultivation, so does art.
