Although we have made progress towards building a better world, too many people have been left behind. People who are unable to benefit from human development, innovation, or economic growth.

Millions of people around the world cannot afford a healthy diet, putting them at high risk of food insecurity and malnutrition. But ending hunger isn’t only about supply. Enough food is produced today to feed everyone on the planet.

The problem is access and availability of nutritious food, which is increasingly impeded by multiple challenges including the COVID-19 pandemic, conflicts, climate change, inequality, rising prices, and international tensions. People around the world are suffering the domino effects of challenges that know no borders.

Under the motto “Healthy nutrition for everyone!”, the 2022 FAO World Food Day photo contest for Europe and Central Asia awaits images from residents of this region that illustrate how to ensure good nutrition for ourselves and everyone else in a sustainable manner. Focus on the moments and approaches of how healthy food is being produced, processed, and shared, and less on the food itself.

According to FAO, the deadline for submission is 2 November 2022 at midnight CET.

Three winners will be selected by a jury and announced in December. Winners will be promoted by FAO offices across Europe and Central Asia and receive a surprise gift bag and a Certificate of Recognition.
