The world has become obsessed with being their own food stylist.

UNICEF New Zealand have created #FOODPHOTOSSAVELIVES to harness the power of the ever-growing food photo trend and turn it into a movement that could change the world.
Watch the video below for more details on how you can make your next food photo count. #FOODPHOTOSSAVELIVES
