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!

Big Waste of Food Around the World
I believe that food wasting is a big problem around the world. Sub-Saharan Africa and South/South-East Asia waste about 6-11kg per person per year, and people in Europe and North America waste a good 95-115 kg, and that's not even all of the continents. Over 30% of food is wasted each year. Because of this waste, more than 50 countries are battling hunger. There are many ways to solve this, for example, not buying things that you don’t need, having samples in every store( a lot of people buy things they have never tried and end up not liking it and just throwing it away.), and donating good food that you don’t like.
