21 Dec 2018 --- The UN has created two new international days and one entire year devoted to central issues in global food security and nutrition. 2019 will see the start of the international days, with one focused on pulses and the other on food safety. 2020 will be the first year devoted to a central theme and will be known as the “International Year of Plant Health.” The initiative is aimed at increasing awareness among the public and policymakers around food security issues.
