Today we waste a lot of food, but in the word 828 milions of people suffer from hunger and in Italy we waste about 67 Kgs of food per inhabitant per year. To reduce the hunger we shoulden't throw food when is still good and we must learn to use everything we have to reduce waste.

I completely agree, the number of hungry people in the world is huge, and in some parts, food is still not consumed rationally. Less food is wasted in Croatia than in Italy, about 22 kg of edible food per inhabitant per year, but it is still a large number. For example, 57 million tons of food were thrown away in the EU in 2020!

Do you know that Africa isn't dying because of hunger? THough there are still some places that still suffer from hunger but it's only a fifth of africa

I completely agree with you. Food waste is a major problem, and it's important tha we take steps to reduce it. One way to do this is by being more mindful of the food we buy and consume. We can try to plan our meals in advance, make a grocery list, and only buy what we need. We can also store our food properly to make it last longer, and use up leftovers instead of throwing them away. Additionally, we can support local food banks and other organizations that work to distribute food to those in need. By taking these steps, we can help reduce food waste and ensure that more people have access to the food they need.

I think it's ironic that there are people dying because of over eating in rich countries and in poor countries the people are dying because they don't have enough to eat.

Food waste can have serious environmental consequences, such as greenhouse gas emissions and water pollution. Additionally, the food we waste could be used to feed people who are hungry. That's why it's important to reduce the amount of food we waste and use food in the way that's more sustainable for the planet.

I completely agree that reducing food waste is VERY important for sustainability and fighting hunger. About one-third of all food produced globally is lost or wasted, resulting in significant environmental consequences. Things like greenhouse gas emissions and water pollution happen because of this. This waste could feed almost 2 billion people, which is more than twice the number of undernourished people in the world. It's really important to take action like educating consumers and giving excess food to those that really need it.

Hi Luiisa, I completely agree that in this world today we waste a lot of food. Here in America we waste about 147.4 Kgs of food per individual per year. To solve this, I agree that we shouldn’t throw away good food but instead use everything in our power to lower the waste of food all around the world.

I completely agree with this take. Food is wasted in so many ways that we don't even know. Did you know that only (approx.) 32% of the world's population composts, and most of that comes from developing countries. Food waste is such a big problem, and not using our food to all of its abilities is costing us. In America alone, over 40% of our food is wasted, which puts 119 billion pounds, $408 billion in food, and over 130 billion meals in the trash YEARLY!

Everyday at school as I pass by the trash cans, I see so much food that was carelessly tossed because students don't want to eat it. It's sad because it can very simply be reversed, every student just has to eat everything given to them. However, something like controlling hundreds (and maybe thousands, depending on your school size) of students to eat what they have to take is impossible. Be the change, only throw your garbage away, not your food.

I completely agree with you, I live in america and according to rts.com we waste 325 lbs or 147 kgs of food per american per year. I also believe composting would be a good way to reduce food waste because it would still be food not used  but it is being put back into the environment. Which could create a healthier ecosystem.

I agree with this greatly because we're wasting tons of food. Saying this, the world wastes around 2.5 billion tons of food every year and the US alone wastes around 60 million - 120 billion pounds every year which is around 0.012 - 2.4% of the world's waste. It doesn't seem like a lot but making sure to only take what we can consume and not throwing away good food can really help with world hunger, and making sure that other parts of the world are able to contribute to their citizens as well as make sure they aren't as hungry. I think that to some extent, we are taking advantage of what we're being supplied and provided as a developed country, over those who may still be developing and may not have as much access to the same amount of resources. The amount of food the US wastes is about 40% of all of our food which is calculated to be around 325 pounds of waste per person, while there are some people out there who may not have that much in general. While I think it's important that we aren't wasting food and making sure to grab what we eat, we should also make sure that we're all decently healthy and not starving ourselves. I don't think this could be considered selfish, but more looking out for our personal health as well as others because we shouldn't have to trade lives with certain people in order to make us feel good about ourselves.

I completely agree with you in today's society we waste plenty of food because of our habit of over-buying food. Although our waste cannot always be restored and sent out to countries in need  due to it can going bad, we can reduce the amount of food we waste by not over-buying it and instead the food could still be fresh if restored properly. We can support local food banks or other organizations who help distribute food to those in need. By taking these steps I think the problem of hunger around the world could be solved.!

This statement completely true, food should not be wasted carelessly while others still suffer from hunger. Could you believe that more than 44 million people suffer from starvation in the United States?  828 million people globally were affected by hunger in 2021. In the U.S. alone, 120 billion pounds of food is wasted every year; this is a big part of the 2.5 billion TONS wasted every year globally. 40 percent of the U.S.’s food supply is wasted. Food is wasted everywhere around the world and it should be taken into more consideration. Nearly one and ten people around the world go to bed hungry every night. People throw away food they don’t want to eat or finish like its nothing even if its new. The least they could do is save it or donate it to food banks. It’s really important to realize how fortunate we are to eat whenever we want because others around the world can’t afford to feed themselves let alone their family. 130 billion meals are put in the trash each year in America, to reduce this amount we should take what we need and not buy knowing we’ll never eat it because you don’t know how much that food would mean to the people who need it the most.

You're right! We waste too much food when so many people are hungry. We should avoid throwing away good food and make the most of what we have. Small changes can make a big impact.

I completely agree with you. As humans we waste a total of 2.5 billion tons of edible food. Wasting this much food causes the amount of carbon we release to go up by 170 million metric tons. If we keep up at this rate we will cause climate change to get worse  than ever before. There are also millions of people around the world who are going hungry and don't have enough food to eat. Instead of wasting this much food on game shows and cooking shows we could transport the food to parts of the world where food may not be as accessible to everyone. Doing this will lower carbon emmissions and get us closer to ending world hunger.

I think that what your saying is true! Most people don't even get food and we just waste the food and throwing it away even though it can fill up someones hunger.A good way so we don't waste as much food or dont even waste the food is by giving it to pople who need it like homeless people on the streets begging for stuff.

I think that you’re 100% correct we waste so much Time and money on food we just end up wasting.

I agree, we waste way to much of our food not thinking of what it effects or how it effects. The food we just throw away could be used for more helpful things. Like feeding other people or using it to make our planet more sustainable. Throwing away our food could cause big problems.
