Right to foods for a better life and a better future, World Food Day

World Food Day is celebrated every year on October 16th, aiming to raise awareness about the importance of food safety and access to sufficient and quality food. The theme for 2024, "Right to Foods for a Better Life and a Better Future: Leave no one behind," highlights the essential need to ensure a fairer and more sustainable food system for all. Kobatsiaris Bros S.A., a company with a long-standing commitment to providing quality catering services and producing high-quality, safe, and nutritious products, actively supports this cause and promotes initiatives that serve this goal.

The Right to Food

The concept of the right to food means that every person has the right to access sufficient, safe, and nutritious food, which is essential for their health and well-being. At Kobatsiaris Bros S.A., we firmly believe in this principle and work daily to ensure that food provision is not a privilege but a fundamental human right.

Through the catering services we offer, we strive to meet the needs of various social groups, from schools and hospitals to businesses and charitable organizations. At the same time, with our actions, we aim to contribute to creating a world where no person is deprived of access to food.

Initiatives for a Better Future

• Over 2.8 billion people in the world are unable to afford a healthy diet.
