Megan Young champions #ZeroHunger campaign

19 Oct – Miss World 2013 Megan Young has recently been appointed the new ambassador for #ZeroHunger, which is a campaign created by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Department of Agriculture.

The beauty queen, who shared the news on her Instagram, shared, "This year's World Food Day focuses on rising hunger figures and calling on countries and other stakeholders to get back on track to achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2: Zero Hunger. We can become the Zero Hunger generation, the first generation to eliminate hunger from the planet, if we join forces across nations, continents, sectors and professions, and act on the evidence.

"Wasting less, eating better and adopting a sustainable lifestyle are key to building a world free of hunger. The choices we make today are vital for a secure future of food. You can make better choices if you are well informed. Take time to read and learn more about #ZeroHunger, the challenges we face in getting there and what we all need to do," she added.

Young also participated on the candle-lighting ceremony during the launch, pledging to ensure food security and nutrition to Filipinos in line with World Food Day and the #ZeroHunger campaign.

In another post, she shared ways to help make #ZeroHunger a way of life - that include buying what you only need, adopt a more healthy and sustainable diet, and be a conscientious consumer.
