Food is life.
Food is land.
Food is roots.
Food is memory.
Food is a right, not a privilege.

On this #WorldFoodDay, as we mark #FAO80, let's all walk together #HandinHand.

Honour our roots and cultivate innovation. Harvest a better future for all.

🥦🧬 #WorldFoodSafetyDay reminder: foodborne bacteria can be sneaky.

That’s why #ECDC keeps an eye on outbreaks across Europe - and teams up with @efsa.europa.eu to trace the source, fast. 🕵️‍♀️🔬
