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!

The human population is growing rapidly but hunger is an ongoing problem, people either don't have the money to buy food or the food supply is low. Hunger leads to malnutrition and poor health. It can also impede physical and cognitive development, affecting children's learning abilities. It is important to break free and address this challenge to ensure the basic right of food security to promote a healthy and thriving community. We can solve this problem by reducing food waste, restaurants have lots of food waste. Instead of wasting we could donate to help out. We can also improve agricultural practices.
