Why This Day Matters

Our health truly begins with what we eat. Through this year’s theme, we emphasize that nutrition is the foundation of well-being. Choosing safe, diverse, and agroecologically produced foods is not only good for our bodies but also for the planet.

Let’s walk, learn, get screened, and commit to healthier living through better eating choices.
