Supporting the designation of October 16, 2023, and October 16, 2024, as "World Food Day".
HRES 783 is a symbolic House resolution supporting the designation of October 16, 2023, and October 16, 2024, as "World Food Day" in the United States. It does not create new laws, funding, or policies - it merely expresses congressional support for recognizing an existing global observance established by the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The resolution cites global hunger statistics and encourages Americans to observe the day with activities, but it has no binding effect on government action or policy. As a procedural resolution, it affects no specific groups or programs and serves only to affirm existing international recognition of World Food Day.
