Celebrating Forests and Foods.


This year's theme, "Forests and Foods," highlights the role forests play in ensuring global food security, sustaining livelihoods, and promoting biodiversity. Forests provide a rich variety of food sources, including fruits, nuts, seeds, mushrooms, honey, and wild meat, which are essential for the nutrition and well-being of billions of people, particularly Indigenous and forest-dependent communities.

The event at UN Headquarters will bring together policymakers, researchers, civil society, Indigenous leaders, youth, and major international organizations to discuss innovative and traditional ways forests contribute to food security and sustainable agriculture. The program includes high-level opening remarks, a panel discussion featuring global experts, and statements from member states and stakeholders.

Through this observance, we aim to raise awareness, promote sustainable forest management, and encourage action to protect the crucial relationship between forests and food systems.
