$60,000 grant to Food Day
Agriculture Minister John Wise an-
nounced a $60,000 contribution to the World
Food Day Association of Canada.
The grant will help promote awareness
among Canadians of world food problems and
what they mean for Canada.
World Food Day was established five years
ago to commemorate the founding of the
United Nations' Food and Agriculture
Organization in Quebec City in 1946. It is
celebrated on October 16 in 150 countries
around the world.
"This is an opportunity to focus on issues
that will have to be resolved if we are to win
the war against hunger in a world where
widespread undernourishment and food
surpluses co -exist," Mr. Wise said.
Agriculture Canada administers more than
$100 million worth of international develop-
ment projects each year.
Mr. Wise stressed the fact that maintain-
ing a healthy agriculture industry in Canada
is our country's major contribution to helping
solve the world's food problems.
The World Food Day theme in Canada for
1986 is "Fisheries and Development."
