COTHM Garden Town will celebrate World Food Day on 16 October 2026 through educational and creative activities organized by the Academy of Wellness, Nutrition and Food Safety to promote food security, healthy eating, food sustainability and responsible consumption.
The celebration will feature three student-focused activities designed to connect classroom learning with practical approaches to sustainable food practices.
The Zero Food Waste Challenge will encourage students to develop innovative ideas for minimizing food waste, while the Build a Healthy Plate Challenge will promote awareness of balanced nutrition and healthier food choices. The Farm to Fork Model Display will illustrate the journey of food from agricultural production to consumers, highlighting the stages involved in bringing food to the table.
Through these activities, students will have opportunities to demonstrate creativity, strengthen their understanding of nutrition and explore practical ways to reduce food waste and use food resources responsibly.
The initiative also supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 2: Zero Hunger, SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being, SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production, and SDG 13: Climate Action. These goals highlight the importance of improving nutrition, promoting healthy lives, reducing waste and encouraging sustainable practices that address environmental challenges.
By integrating food education and sustainability into campus activities, the Academy of Wellness, Nutrition and Food Safety aims to encourage students to make informed decisions about food consumption and recognize their role in building more sustainable food systems.
The celebration will also emphasize the value of nutrition awareness, food security and collective responsibility in supporting healthier communities and a more sustainable future.
