International Whole Grain Day 2020 - Building Healthy, Sustainable and Resilient Food Systems

The International Whole Grain Day is a whole day celebration aimed at getting to know more about whole grain and discovering how good and delicious it is, while raising awareness of its environmental benefits.

A live webinar with experts and key opinion leaders in the field from around the world will be held on 19th November 2020 which marks the second International Whole Grain Day.

Registration is FREE OF CHARGE and is already open - sign up today 

2020 has brought many things, including a reminder of how important resilient, sustainable, productive, and healthy food systems are in our lives. For policy makers, it is a fundamental task to continue to invest in policies to tackle the “triple challenge” of simultaneously providing food security and nutrition to a growing global population, ensuring the livelihoods of millions of people working along the food chain farm to fork, and ensuring the environmental sustainability of the sector in the medium and long term. Studies show that whole grain foods save water while providing more food and less waste.

Join the WGI, the FAO, and a host of global leaders to discuss how the daily consumption of whole grains is a vital part of not only healthy, but also sustainable diets.
