A resolution designating October 16, 2025, and October 16, 2026, as "World Food Day".

Plain-English Summary

This is a simple Senate resolution that officially designates October 16, 2025, and October 16, 2026, as "World Food Day" in the United States. A resolution like this is a formal statement from Congress, but it does not create new laws, spend money, or require anyone to do anything. It is largely symbolic in nature.

World Food Day is already recognized internationally and is tied to the founding of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) on October 16, 1945. By passing this resolution, the U.S. Senate is formally acknowledging that date and expressing support for awareness around global hunger, food security, and nutrition challenges facing people around the world.

This resolution affects Americans in a general, indirect way — it encourages public awareness about food-related issues both domestically and globally. It passed the Senate quickly and without opposition, through a process called "unanimous consent," meaning all senators agreed to it without a formal vote or debate. No specific individuals, programs, or agencies are directly impacted by this resolution.
