This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' support for designating October 16, 2025, and October 16, 2026, as "World Food Day" in the United States. The resolution highlights the global food security crisis, noting that approximately 2.3 billion people experienced food insecurity in 2024 and that acute food insecurity has nearly tripled worldwide since 2016, with women and children suffering disproportionately. The resolution encourages Americans to observe World Food Day through ceremonies and activities, and reaffirms the U.S. commitment to combating global hunger through humanitarian assistance and agricultural innovation. This is a symbolic resolution with no direct funding or enforcement mechanisms—it calls on Congress, the President, states, and federal agencies to support awareness and action around food insecurity on these designated dates.
