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!

Hunger Around the World
Hunger is experienced around the world, either by climate change, war, poverty, etc. War creates an instability of accessible food. A program named “U. N. World Food Programme” helps different communities worldwide. They aid people who have lost their everyday living by tornadoes, floods, droughts, etc, by rehabilitation projects. The program also helps the environment by reforestation and planting a diverse range of crops. Humans can unite to end world hunger by defining food security. Food security can be established by having more accessible and affordable produce production and distribution.
I agree hunger is a big issue worldwide. There are many people in the world who starve for days with no help and care even when there are many people who can help. In the U.S wee should help more to people in need around the world.
I completely agree that hunger is a multifaceted issue driven by various factors like climate change, conflict, and poverty. The U.N. World Food Programme plays a crucial role in addressing these challenges by not only providing immediate relief but also implementing long-term solutions through rehabilitation and sustainable practices. Their efforts in reforestation and promoting diverse crop production are vital for building resilient communities. By focusing on food security, we can ensure that everyone has access to nutritious food, which is essential for overall well-being. It’s inspiring to think about how we can unite as a global community to tackle hunger. Supporting initiatives that enhance food accessibility and affordability is key. Whether it’s advocating for local food systems or participating in community programs, every action counts.
