Synopsis (short abstract) It is a time to celebrate our #FoodHeroes, including farmers, workers along the food chain, food banks or others, who together with healthcare workers worldwide, are at the frontline of the crisis, making sure that food continues to make its way from farms to our table. We are looking for your help to identify stories (text with high-resolution photos) of different types of people from a range of socio-economic contexts that you consider to be #FoodHeroes in your country or region (farmers, factory workers, drivers, food bank or non-governmental organization (NGO) workers, government officials, influencers, etc.).

    World Food Safety Day 2020 - Overview of an inspiring virtual celebration 2020
    Also available in:
    The second UN World Food Safety Day fell amid the extraordinary global moment of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a day - or, in some cases, a week or more - of ‘masks, microbes and microphones’ that saw initiatives – organized by individuals, families, communities, schools, businesses and government offices – reshaped for a ‘new normal’ that looks set to affect food safety and food systems for the foreseeable future. In this overview of the global celebrations, we take a glimpse at the webinars, videos, press conferences, editorials, contests, social media posts, campaign messages and more that involved millions of people across the world in May and June 2020. Find out more about food safety on the FAO, WHO, Codex Alimentarius and INFOSAN websites.

    This report describes the process, achievements and learnings of a subproject which set out to introduce a radio programme as a communication and extension tool to help Sri Lankan fisherfolk in their development. The subproject was initiated in January 1988, the radio programme went on the air with daily and weekly programmes in January I989 and has continued since without a break. In March 1992, the subproject was terminated and the responsibility for the programme was assumed by the Ministry o f Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (MFAR) of the Government of Sri Lanka. MFAR was responsible for the execution of the project. The Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation worked closely with MFAR and provided expertise, training inputs and the services of a senior broadcaster to act as the Team Leader. The Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP) provided technical assistance, support for training, broadcast, production, equipment and monitoring. The Norwegian Agency for International Development (NORAD) , through their office in Sri Lanka, provided a generous grant to cover some of the training and expertise inputs. World Radio for Environment and Natural Resources (WREN), a media organization in the UK, was contracted to provide the subproject the services of Michael Pickstock who provided the bulk of the training inputs, advice on management, programme design and equipment, and who undertook the evaluation of the activity.
