Abstract
World Food Day highlights the human right of each person to food and provides a platform to increase awareness of the plight of the 850 million malnourished people around the world, most of whom live in developing countries and depend on agriculture for their livelihoods. Due to global warming and the bio-fuel boom, this number may even increase in the near future. Stemming from such information the aptly chosen theme for World Food Day 2008 was "Food security: the challenge of climate change and bio-energy".
