A zero-hunger world requires a socially equitable, clean and healthy environment – which is why the World Food Programme (WFP) is committed to applying the highest standards in its interactions with the people, communities and governments we serve, and the natural environment on which we all depend. Environmental Sustainability is therefore one of our cross-cutting priorities in the 2022-2025 WFP Strategic Plan.
