World Food Day isn’t just about what’s on your plate — it’s about how we grow, share, and value food worldwide. In this special World Food Day episode, Chef April Fontenot takes listeners on a flavorful journey to uncover the meaning behind this global celebration.

What exactly is World Food Day, and why do people around the world honor it every October 16th? April explores the history, mission, and impact of this international movement — from supporting farmers and reducing hunger to building a more sustainable and equitable food future for all.

Along the way, she shares inspiring stories of communities making real change through food, practical ways you can make a difference in your own kitchen, and a few of her favorite globally inspired recipes to mark the occasion.

Whether you’re a foodie, a home cook, or someone who simply loves discovering the culture behind every bite, this episode reminds us that food connects us all — one plate at a time. 🍴🌾
