In the World Food Day special interview, FAO Deputy Country Representative Felix Dzvurumi discusses this year’s World Food Day theme, “Hand in Hand for Better Food and a Better Future.”
He highlights the urgent need for collective action to tackle food insecurity in South Sudan, where a substantial part of the population faces hunger. Dzvurumi explains the Food and Agricultural Organization’s work with government and partners to promote climate-resilient farming, improve food production, and support communities to become self-reliant. He also calls for peace, youth engagement, and stronger investment in agriculture to build a food-secure future for South Sudan.
