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!

Food and Hunger
Reducing the amount of food we waste, and eating less meat are 2 ways we can reduce our carbon emissions. By lowering the amount of food we waste, we aren't wasting the energy it took to produce/transport the food. Also, when food gets thrown away in the trash, it has to travel a long way to the landfill, which ultimately emits more carbon into the atmosphere. During the process of breaking down the food, methane gets produced, and methane is a greenhouse gas that contributes heavily to climate change.
