the date chosen being the anniversary of the creation of the FAO in 1945 with the aim, as stated in its Constitution of "contributing towards an expanding world economy and ensuring humanity's freedom from hunger." Freedom from hunger is not simply a technical matter to be solved with better seeds, fertilisers, cultivation practices and marketing. To achieve freedom from hunger for mankind, there is a need to eliminate poverty. The elimination of poverty must draw upon the ideas, skills and energies of whole societies and requires the cooperation of all countries.
