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!

Growing food
As you may or may not know just having food increases our carbon footprint quite a bit. Part of it might because most food we get is not local and has to be drove or even taken on boats here from all over the world. What we can do better is start to grow our own food or buying local when the option is available.
