On the 16th of October, as part of the #UM6P_ENGAGED Initiative, University Mohammed VI Polytechnic joined the global movement to celebrate the 45th edition of World Food Day today, in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The event aimed to raise awareness about global challenges related to hunger, malnutrition, and food security.
Held under the theme “Hand in hand for better food and a better future,” this year’s edition emphasized the links between food production, environmental resilience, and public health.
To mark the occasion, UM6P campuses in Benguerir, Rabat, and Laayoune were illuminated in blue, symbolizing the University’s commitment to safe, nutritious, and sustainable food systems.
Through research, innovation, and collaboration across sectors, UM6P continues to contribute to building sustainable and inclusive food systems, promoting responsible agricultural practices, and supporting efforts toward global food security.
