The International Association for Students in Agricultural and Related Sciences at UGA (IAAS UGA) would like to invite you to participate in the World Food Day festivities!
World Food Day is a worldwide event designed to increase awareness, understanding and informed, year-around action to alleviate hunger. To commemorate this day, we will be watching the live World Food Day teleconference and participating in discussion. The teleconference is broadcast live from Washington, D.C., and the panel consists of Max Finberg from the USDA, Rep. Jim McGovern, who serves as co-chair of the Congressional Hunger Caucus, and Joy Phumaphi of Botswana, Vice President and Head of the Human Development Network at the World Bank. There will also be a live feed from the World Food Prize Laureate in Iowa. In addition to viewing the teleconference, we will host a discussion and provide refreshments for guests.
