Lots of people suffer with hunger, it could be cause by the lack of access like not nearby grocery stores or fast food places. Children suffering with this issue can lead to health issues and impact them in there immune system, and growth as well. This is another reason why we all need to work together encouraging others to not waste food.

I agree because there are so many people that can use our help to just not waste food. Its such a simple thing that everyone can do and it would help our society and ecosystem in so may ways. It also just makes me feel bad when I throw away left over food because I know that it could have gone to someone else in need. I think that everyone should always try their best to not waste food unless they absolutely have to because it will benefit our earth in so many ways.

Many people go hungry everyday across the globe, often because of wars, poverty and climate change. Children especially suffer the most, as lack of food effects their growth and well being. But at the same time countries waste a big sum of their food, showing how unfair the problem is. I think we need to work together as a community, share resources better and make the world a better place.

I agree with Kaydancolt! I think that we should think of others when we buy or eat more food than we need we should do everything we can to support starving children in war torn and impoverished countries rather than ourselves because they need it way more than us.

Yes Kayden you bring up a great point people are very focused on other things when there are homeless starving children out there. I think one way us as a community can help is by sending donations or emailing our government officials about this so the topic gets more known. This topic definitely deserves more attention because this is our youth the ones that can  make the change.

Yes I agree with Kaydancolt!, KPR#31 and, Hugo_2010 because I think it is a very pressing and urgent issue and I think I have come up with a way to solve it.  The idea I had stemmed from a documentary I saw cowspiracy it basically said that instead of feeding people in need meat we could instead redirect all the food that cows are getting like corn and other grains and help donate them to people in need because it is 10% more of an efficient food source than beef so that's why I think we should redirect a lot of the resources being used up on meat and give it to those who. need it.

Kaydancolt!, KPR#31, Hugo_2010 and santbuzz are all correct! Food security is a very pressing issue all over the world. Meat farming is very bad for the environment and definitely makes food security trickier for many people over the world as more food goes to animals than people who need it. many biodiversity hotspots are also being threatened by the ranching industry, such as the Amazon (the rainforest, not the company). in the amazon, one acre (about one football field) is destroyed every second. and hundreds of species go extinct per day. this means in a few decades, this carbon sink will be replaced by massively carbon emitting cows. This means more land needs to be turned into farms that only feed the ranch animals further depleting the finite area we have to make food for ourselves. This means a higher overall price of food and more starving individuals.

something that everyone can do to reduce there carbon footprint is eating less meat. Even though i do realize meat is a crucial part of a lot of people’s diets and not an easy thing to give up, i still think a lot of people aren’t aware of the serious affects meat has on our environment. The 1st thing i have to say about meat is how much land it takes to raise meat that is fully grown, one thing i’m not sure most of you know is that feeding someone who is vegan for a year takes only 1/6th of an acre of land while someone on a meat and dairy diet for a year uses 18 times that amount of land. i think this is a very scary statistic but also a very real one, raising meat does use a lot of land and meat eaters have to realize that. the 2nd thing i have to say about meat is how much methane cows produce. cows produce this methane through there farts, burps or poop, we contribute to this by eating cows. considering how many cows are bred because of the demand we put on them meaning more of the methane that cows produce is going up into the atmosphere. i think it is a really good idea for people to consider eating less meat and dairy meals each week as it is a great way to help save our planet and reduce your carbon footprint.

world hunger at face value seems like an unsolvable problem but I believe I have an idea to help make it a smaller issue compared to what it is right now.  My idea for helping with the ginormous problem that world hunger is stems from the fact that in the energy pyramid only 10 percent of the energy consumed by one of the organisms can travel up 1 level up the pyramid so I think to help with world hunger we could stop feeding the amount of grain and other foods that are at the base of the food pyramid and give it to people in need instead of using it to feed cows or chickens because only 10% of the energy in the grain goes up to the cow unlike eating the grain/corn and not eating the cows I believe that this can help a lot of the issues ninth world today because people would have much easier access to food a neccesary resource for living

I agree with this idea. Because meat is so grain and water intensive, it would make more sense to feed lower down the food chain. For example, to produce 1kg of beef, you need on average 25kgs of grain. This is not economical when world hunger is so prevalent. If we switched to more plant-based diets, we would require less land to grow food, while feeding more people, and we could help prevent deforestation and habitat clearing. I do recognize that there are constraints to being vegan/vegetarian, so instead of fully cutting out all meat, we could at least strongly reduce meat consumption.

I agree with santbuzz I feel like there are too many animals used for agriculture and that there are too many starving people in the world to just give all of our grains and other plant food to animals just so that the more well off people can survive and eat well. Plus animal agriculture is one of the #1 contributors to carbon emissions which causes global warming. So I think we should cut down on those emissions and help out the less fortunate by feeding less cattle and chickens and feeding more people.

In my research, I have found that adopting a vegan diet is one way to save on the environmental impact caused by raising farm animals. Now more than ever there is a lot of healthy, balanced ways to consume a plant-based diet. One of these ways I have found was through the recipes Baking Hermann has showed me. Baking Herman is a website founded on principles of sustainability. Baking Hermann spotlights plant-based meals from around the world to show the diverse foods and meals that can be made.

Here is the website

I agree with what you are saying. I think a plant based diet helps reduce your carbon footprint a lot. Since the demand for meat has gotten much higher, farmers have been clearing way more land for there farm animals to live on as well as land to grow food for the animals. Valuable land too, a football field sized chunk of land is cleared every second for agriculture from rain forests. So eating less meat also saves our forests.

I think adopting a vegan diet is a great idea but for some people it is very hard to give up meat. Maybe if regular meat eaters only have meat 4 out of 6 day of the week it would make a big change. This would be way easier than a full vegan or Vega diet but will still have impacts. Another way could be to eat fast food burgers less because 1 burger is equivalent to 3000 gallons of water or 2 mouths showers so this would have a huge impact on water levels as well.

I 100% agree with your statements. I think that creating a plant based diet is healthy, and also it reduces your carbon footprint significantly. Although for meat eaters switching to a all plant based diet will be tough. I think that for meat eaters instead of eating meat all the time they should try and stick with a plant based diet for at least 4 times a week. Also switching to a plant based diet helps with the farmers so much, because raising these animals give a big chunk of their land so it will help them out a lot.

I agree with the idea of adopting a vegan diet will help with the environmental impact of animal agriculture, although I don’t think everyone should just stop eating meat and dairy. I think that people should cut down on their meat eating per week because some people have been eating meat their whole life’s and we can’t just tell them they’re not allowed any more. Although we can teach people more about where it comes from and let them decide whether they want to become vegan.

Did you know eating 1 burger takes 3000 Litres of water which is equivalent to 2 mouths shower. Also every second 1 football fields with of land is farmed for animal agriculture.
51% of all co2 emissions are clouded by animal agriculture, do you think people need to talk more about this subject since its a big matter?

I agree with the Canadian man called Hugo_2010 because I for one think this is not talked enough about and there is definitely some evidence on why in the hit movie/documentary called cowspiracy and it shows very well the theme of your post and I think it should definitely have more attention drawn to it because it is one of the if not the biggest leading cause for climate change

I also agree with your statements Hugo_2010 and santbuzz but especially with santbuzz. I think that this subject is not discussed more frequently, and also I have watched that amazing documentary Cowspiracy it details and shows about the importance about our trees and animals. Lastly when your eating a burger I hope that u realize that the patty had a face and takes 3000 litres of water.

stop wasting food other people might need it so they don't starve.

Yes i agree, although its not just starving people around the world. Wasting food is also causes more methane in the world. After you throw it away it gets left in the garbage or even gets moved to landfill and can rot. When food rots it produces methane and it stays in our atmosphere. So before wasting food always think about how this can effect our atmosphere but also how other starving people wish they had the food you were throwing away right now.

Many people go hungry everyday across the globe, often because of wars, poverty and climate change. Children especially suffer the most, as lack of food effects their growth and well being. But at the same time countries waste a big sum of their food, showing how unfair the problem is. I think we need to work together as a community, share resources better and make the world a better place.

Food waste is a huge part of the carbon that is emitted into our atmosphere. When food is thrown away and put into land fills, or burned, all the carbon that is stored in it contributes to the greenhouse effect. This is why it is so important to compost. Composting has many benefits: it helps store the carbon from the food that stores lots of carbon in soil and stops it from being emitted into the atmosphere, it provides fresh soil that you can use to plant and grow your own food, it attracts beneficial animals that will help break the food down such as worms, and it stops landfills from being filled with food waste and trash. Composting is something that is so easy to do, and even if you do not have a backyard to do it in, you can have a composting bucket inside. It involves just a few extra steps in your daily routine and it is one of the most powerful actions we as individuals can take to stop climate change from reaching its full potential.

I totally agree, another solution to reduce the waste of food in the restaurant could be the use of "doggy bags", cardboard boxes that allow customers to take home food they have not eaten.

I totaly agree with you, another thing that could be done would be to, at the end of the day, perhaps give away to non-profit organizations or sell at a reduced price everything that you were unable to sell during the day, in this way it would avoid the phenomenon of homeless people rummaging in the trash looking for food or even animals that, attracted by the smell of food, sneak into bins, creating a nuisance. this would also help many people.

I completely agree. Composting is a simple yet powerful way for individuals to make a significant impact in reducing carbon emissions and stopping climate change. By diverting organic waste from landfills and instead allowing it to decompose naturally, we can not only prevent the release of greenhouse gases like methane, but also keep up soil health and promote biodiversity. Also, composting isn't limited to those with outdoor space; indoor composting options like composting buckets or composting using worms let people living in apartments and those without yards to participate the act of composting. It's a win-win situation: reducing waste, enriching soil, and contributing to a healthier planet.

I one hundred percent agree that we waste so much food. One thing that could help is composting I know that many people don't compost so for the people that don't I think it's a good idea to start.

I agree. When you throw away food you are wasting all the resources ad energy that was used to grow, package, and transport it. Not only that but the food that has been dumped in our landfills can produce methane, which is a powerful greenhouse gas. I suggest that people consider composting leftovers and that they always use what they buy.

Eat less

yes , im agree with you ! It necessary eat less meat

yes it's a good idea

Je suis d'accord de faire attention a notre de consommation de viande

the meat is very important for our body we must eat more of it

I agree to pay attention to our meat consumption

eat meat like real men

Yes, we must eat less meat

hello everyone

I think what you’re saying is very vague and not descriptive. It’s important to remember that when we say something like “Eat less meat” it is not always that simple for so many people. It’s hard to make that big of a decision when you can’t see immediate results. Meat is also an easy (and sometimes cheap) option for people and going out of your way to avoid meat is nearly impossible. I understand your point on the fact that meat is adding an insane amount of carbon to our society but just remember that it’s not that easy for people to switch diets, or find new food. Also, don’t give such blunt advice unless you are also willing to take that advice for yourself.

Yes, I agree, we do really need to lower our meet consumption, but we also need to lower our dairy intake. Most of the worlds freshwater goes to meat and dairy farms to raise these animals, which are usually kept in a very small space and are force fed. We are using up our resources which we as humans and animals need to survive on earth. We need to majorly lower our meat and dairy intake and try to eat more vegan and vegetarian meals.

Soil health is on the decline and leads to worse and less successful harvests, the crop turnover is happening constantly and depletes nutrients from soil without time for recovery of minerals. Regenerative agriculture is the idea of farming in a pattern that replenishes soil and allows crops to be healthier and more nutrient-rich, however it is very hard to accomplish on a large scale due to it being a big change that requires a lot of collaboration.

Farmers usually farm one crop in their fields but with multi-layer farm crops can be stronger, more biodiverse, improve yield, reduce weed competition, reduce soil erosion, and more.

I agree! By planting various crops, farmers can not only improve the strength and yield of their crops, it also helps maintain bee populations! By having multiple kinds of plants or crops that different bees can pollinate, it helps make sure that the burden of pollinating isn't left onto one local bee population. With multiple populations of bees, it can help reduce the risk of bees becoming endangered.
