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!

Don't waste food
Remember, the key point of food and huger is that you do not waste food since if you waste food it is not contributing to saving food and the people that don't have food will be even more hungry. You could also donate food to the food bank and they will give it to people who need food, hope that helps.
I agree, you should not waste your food, because it is a serious problem of poverty, and you could donate them food. You should not also not waste food because there is a legend, at least in my area saying that if you waste your food, when you die, you would eat all of them in hell.
We should never waste food, some people don't have the money to buy food.
Yeah, for the people who can’t afford to buy food, they will eat anything people give them because they don’t have a choice. We should not be picky and waste food, just think of the people who can’t even BUY food.
Yes,wasting food is very bad.because some people in Africa don’t have food to eat so don’t waste food!
Many people in poor countries in Africa don’t have food, but the carbon footprint for them is very low. Always share your food to the homeless.
yeah if we waste food people lose lots of chance to eat. when there are lots of people who are dying of hunger.
Yeah, wasting food is very bad because it is basically melting money when you can give it to poor people
I agree, we shouldn't waste food. We should reduce food waste by only cooking and buying what we eat and saving the leftovers for later to be reused. Also, a shopping list or a meal planner can help!
Yes, I agree completely we should not waste food, we should make a good amount that will not be too much or too little. If it is too much we should save the leftovers for later. Wasting food is also wasting money, you could use that money to donate food to the needy and much more!
Food waste is a real and very common topic. Currently, 8% of greenhouse gases are due to food waste, a person ends up throwing away up to 170 kg of food annually. To reduce this number, we can donate food to the most helpless people. What do you think about the consequences of food waste?
