On October 16, World Food Day, the Ayush Ministry emphasised the nation’s commitment to fostering a healthier and more sustainable planet through groundbreaking initiatives like 'Ayurveda Aahara', a unique food philosophy rooted in balance, wellness, and nature.

The theme for the Day this year is ‘Hand in Hand for Better Foods and a Better Future’.

It is to be noted that the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), in consultation with the Ministry of Ayush, has recently released a definitive list of Ayurveda Aahara products under Category A, providing the first comprehensive reference framework for authentic Ayurvedic dietary preparations.
