The 7th edition of the Netherlands Food Partnership (NFP) World Food Day celebration has been a resounding success.
On October 16, 2025, over 500 participants, including representatives from government, business, diplomacy, research, and NGOs, gathered at the Fokker Terminal in The Hague to address challenges in food systems and develop concrete solutions.
In today’s interconnected world, achieving food security in any region demands unwavering global collaboration. The Netherlands Food Partnership, in alliance with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security & Nature, welcomed many attendees to this year’s World Food Day event.
This year’s theme emphasized the importance of cross-sector partnerships in ensuring long-term food security, maintaining healthy ecosystems, and fostering resilient economies.
Notable attendees included the Ambassadors of Peru, Tanzania, Vietnam along with a representative from the UN based in Jakarta. Vietnam also participated in the 2024 edition.
The highly successful event was meticulously organized and effectively promoted, drawing hundreds of individuals. It featured more than 25 side sessions and four dynamic interactive zones, reinforcing the commitment to advancing food security on a global scale.
