Join us for the International Day of Forests, celebrating this year¡¯s theme: "Forests and Foods."
Discover how forests are essential for food security, nutrition, sustainable livelihoods, and a thriving planet.
They provide everything from fruits, nuts, and mushrooms to fuelwood for cooking and boiling water, as well as ecosystem services like pollination, clean water, and fertile soil. In times of crisis, forests are a lifeline, preventing malnutrition and famine.
This year¡¯s theme highlights how sustainable forest management can ensure food security while supporting Indigenous communities, sustainable livelihoods, and innovative practices like agroforestry.
Let¡¯s unite policymakers, Indigenous peoples, researchers, and youth to protect forests and secure our food future.
