Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan emphasized on Monday that access to safe food is a vital component of his country's national security, and not just an issue related to food supply, indicating that Turkey is taking steps based on this vision. Erdogan emphasized that it is not possible to talk about peace or well-being in a world where millions of people suffer from a lack of food, while the amount of wasted food is increasing. Erdogan's statements came in a video message for the opening of the World Food Forum, hosted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Rome, during the period from 12 to 17 October 2026.
