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!

Does throwing away food affect the environment?
If you throw away food, methane is exposed and sometimes other gases, which affects the earth's environment. Some way to change this is to give in to someone who needs it. Another, way to help is to be more aware of how much food you should buy, rather than buying too much, to the point where you won't even eat it. Another reason is to not waste any food in general and to just eat all of what you got.
