"Food is the most important thing for the people", and grain has been playing an irreplaceable basic role in the whole national economy. During the period of 1972, a worldwide food crisis occurred due to two consecutive years of abnormal climate, and the Soviet Union snapped up a large amount of food.

The FAO held the first and second food congresses in 1973 and 1974 to arouse the world's attention, especially the third world's attention to food and agricultural production. Governments and people of all countries are urged to take action to increase food production, distribute food more rationally and fight hunger and malnutrition.

However, the problem has not been solved, and the world food situation is more severe. The resolution of "World Food Day" was made against this background.
