　　On 16 October 2010, World Food Day enters its 30th year. The theme of this year's observance, “United against hunger”, seeks to recognize the efforts made in the fight against world hunger by all actors, at all levels; and urges us to be even more united to do more.

　　2010年10月16日，世界糧食日活動進入第30個年頭。今年慶祝活動的主題是“團結起來，戰勝饑餓”，旨在表彰各階層人士為戰勝世界饑餓所做出的努力，並敦促我們今後要更加團結一致，取得更多成績。

　　In 2009, the critical thresholdof one billion hungry people in the world was reached in large part due to soaringfood prices and the global economic crisis. The gravity of the silent hunger crisis is the result of decades of neglect of agriculture and under-investment in the sector. That is why on the eve of the “Hunger Summit” of heads of state and government held in Rome, in November 2009, FAO launched a petitionto reflect the moral outrage of the situation.

　　2009年，全世界饑餓人口超過10億大關，部分原因是由於糧價飆升以及全球經濟危機。無聲的饑餓問題之所以如此嚴重，是幾十年來忽視農業，對農業領域投資不足造成的。這就是為什麼糧農組織在2009年11月國家元首和政府首腦羅馬“饑餓峰會”前夕發起了一場請願活動，對這一狀況發出道義上的憤怒呼聲。

　　This “1 billion hungry project” reaches out to persons to sign the anti-hunger petition and to work together to amplify the message that society has to take special care that no one goes hungry today. Over 1 million people have signed and the project is continuing.

　　“十億人在挨餓項目”廣泛聯係各界群眾，簽署反饑餓請願書，並共同努力向全社會加強宣傳，要對此采取特殊關注，確保當今世界沒有人挨餓。該項目還在進行中，簽署請願書的人數已超過100萬。

　　FAO has united with the popular world of professional sport. Together with the European Professional Football Leagues (EPFL) and other regional football leagues, a 2nd Match Day against Hunger will be organized in Europe from 22 to 24 October 2010 as part of the Professional Football against Hunger Solidaritycampaign.

　　糧農組織與廣受歡迎的職業體育界同心協力。與歐洲職業足球聯盟及其他區域足球聯盟一起，將於2010年10月22日至24日在歐洲舉辦第二屆“比賽日反饑餓”活動，作為“職業足球戰勝饑餓團結運動”的一部分。

　　The theme “United against hunger” highlights the need to launch a new green revolution, while emphasizing that the task of increasing food production is a job for everyone as is the goal of ensuring access to food. Partnerships with governments, research institutes and universities, financial institutions and regional development banks, farmers' organizations, pressure groups, the UN system, civil society and the private sector are needed to work together to achieve food security for all.

　　“團結起來，戰勝饑餓”這一主題強調必須發起一場新的綠色革命，同時強調提高糧食產量是我們每個人的共同任務，隻有這樣才能確保人人有糧。與各國政府、科研院所、金融機構和區域發展銀行、農民組織、利益集團、聯合國係統、民間社會以及私營部門建立合作夥伴關係，一道攜手努力，才能全麵實現糧食安全。
