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!

Is foods that we buy or eats important in our carbon footprint?
food is 10000000% important in our carbon footprint it is one of the biggest factors in weather you will have a good carbon footprint or a not so great one. For instense if you are vaegan you will have one of the best carbon footprints around because you will not be eating meat or consuming any dairy. if you didn't know eating meat is probably one of the worst things you can do to our invronment. cows take up so much space witch ends up meaning cutting down the rain forests witch are essential for keeping our carbon levels low. so if you are trying to lower your carbon foot print i would say the easiest way to do that is to cut out meat in your diet.
