16th October 2019 is World Food Day. Currently, there are over 800 million people in the world go hungry, mostly in South America, African subregions and western Asia according to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The Anti-hunger Advocates and Sustainable Population Australia along with World Vision Australia have urged the global governments to take action on climate change, protect the environment and reduce the global population so that the world can have enough food to feed its citizens. Meanwhile, overweight and obesity in the developed world is a very worrying sign as the UN is trying to tackle world food security by 2030.
