World Food Challenge 2011

From October 15-22, 2011, people around the world took part in Oxfam’s GROW Week. GROW Week is an annual celebration of food and the people who produce it - and a call for changes to fix the injustices in our food system, that leave almost a billion of us going to bed hungry every night, the majority women and girls.

GROW week this year included the 30th anniversary of World Food Day on October 16, when people in dozens of countries took action on global food issues. 

The World Food Challenge

As part of GROW Week, people across Canada and in several other countries, took our World Food Challenge: to organize or participate in food events (dinners, pot-luck gatherings, get-togethers) using local, fair trade and/or organic food. You can still take the Challenge at www.oxfam/wfc

Spread the word: Use our Tools for Change to get the conversation started. The important thing is to have fun, take the challenge and get people talking about how we make the global food system more fair and sustainable.
