Mars and WFP Highlight Partnership on World Food Safety Day
For World Food Safety Day 2022, Mars Global Food Safety Center highlighted the renewal of its partnership with the United Nations’ World Food Program (WFP). Mars and WFP have been collaborating since 2015 in an effort to increase global, vulnerable communities’ access to safe food. The renewal of the partnership was made in December 2021.
According to Mars, the number of food-insecure people—those without access to safe, sufficient food—continues to grow around the world. In 2021, nearly 193 million people across 53 nations were considered food insecure, which is an increase of 40 million people from the previous year.
