July 13 2025

Food security is not just about having enough to eat; it is about eating well enough to live a healthy and productive life.

That statement is not just a slogan, it's a road-map for government and private sector to follow to ensure the health of the present and future generations. Every July, the country observes Nutrition Month a vital reminder that health begins with what we eat.

This year, the theme carries even greater weight: "Sa Philippine Plan of Action for Nutrition (PPAN): Sama-sama sa nutrisyong sapat para sa lahat!" (Proper nutrition and healthy eating, a must for all Filipinos). The subtheme is "Food at nutrition security, maging priority! Sapat na pagkain, karapatan natin! (Food and nutrition security is a priority! Adequate food is our right!)" The theme is a call to action grounded in a universal truth access to nutritious food is a basic human right.

The activities for Nutrition Month is led by the National Nutrition Council (NNC).
