In addition to the winning posters being displayed on the World Food Day website, there are some very special surprises for contestants.- First, world-famous footballer Roberto Baggio, FAO Goodwill Ambassador, Man of Peace Award winner nominated by the Nobel Peace Prize laureates, human rights activist, - has generously agreed to act as UNWG Goodwill Ambassador and open the FAO WFD contest this year.

2015 World Food Day Poster Contest Theme
The 2015 World Food Day Contest theme is: “Social Protection and agriculture: breaking the cycle of rural poverty”What is Social Protection and how does it help rural agriculture?
Social protection can be defined as a range of solutions, often combined with each others, —such as work opportunities, provision of food, money and services— that are designed to support the vulnerable and help the poor in society move out of hunger and poverty.
The World Food Day organizers have posted some excellent information on their website about different types of Social Protection programs that help alleviate rural poverty. There are several comics aimed at older readers, like Bea and the Drought.

However, unless things have changed, we're not sure how well our local breakfast Club programs measure up to the ones mentioned on the World Food Day site. The examples on the World Food Day site mention that School Feeding programs alleviate rural poverty by purchasing food from local farms.
Do you know if our Breakfast Club programs in Kawartha Lakes purchase from local farms now?
It used to be that items from large companies were donated for many Kawartha Lakes breakfast programs in schools.
If our local Breakfast Club Programs are not making purchases from local farms, this might be an excellent time to start!
