The world comes together to celebrate International Day of Forests on March 21, 2025, shining a light on the vital role forests play in our lives and their impact on food security. The theme for 2025 is “Forests and Food,” which highlights the strong link between forests and nutrition. Forests are truly the lifeblood of our planet, essential for producing oxygen, supplying food, and providing medicinal resources, all while supporting the livelihoods of millions around the globe. Beyond their ecological importance, forests are key to global food security, offering vital resources like fruits, seeds, roots, and wild meat to indigenous and rural communities. With this in mind, the United Nations (UN) created the International Day of Forests (IDF) to promote awareness about the need for forest conservation and sustainability.
