What did you learn about dietary choices from using the footprint calculator? Now imagine that you could translate what you learned into an effective societal policy on food- what would it be? And how would this policy effect the need to alleviate world hunger?
925 million people on earth do not have enough to eat according to the FAO [Food and Agricultural Organization]. That's almost 1 in 7 inhabitants of our planet!

1 in 7 people do not eat food. Due to the overproduction of meat-only farm animals, people waste a lot of protein-rich foods. Almost 41% of the land is used solely for feeding farm animals. If we use even 10% of this land, we will have enough food to feed everyone, and the food in food will also be cheap. If only we could reduce our cravings for meat.
