This Austrian postage stamp was issued in 1981 to commemorate World Food Day (Welternährungstag), celebrated globally to highlight the importance of food security. It features the emblem of the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) with its Latin motto "Fiat Panis" (“Let there be bread”), flanked by a full bowl of rice and an empty bowl—symbolizing the contrast between abundance and hunger. Designed by F. Dorner, the stamp carries a denomination of S6 and promotes awareness of the global fight against hunger.
