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!

Farm Waste
Many farms are inefficient in their practices, creating much waste, for example if one of their crops is bad because of pests, they have to throw it away, likewise if there is an animal used for meat, it not only pollutes, but if it is sick cannot be used.
This is quite true, farms do create an unnecessary amount of waste (as does mostly everyone), and it is both true with plants and animals such as livestock.
