There’s enough food being produced to feed the world, however every year millions of people go to bed hungry every day. 1 in every 10 people don’t have access to food every night. Why is this? What’s happening to all of this food? Well…we’re wasting it!. Every year nearly 1/3 of all the food produced is wasted or lost at a quantity of about 1.3 billion tons. Not only do we leave millions of people starving by wasting food, we also waste a lot of unseen resources and effort. When we waste food, we waste 33% of fertile land and around 24% of freshwater. We waste sunshine, water, fertilizers, and a farmer’s hard work and time. As well as the time, effort and energy put into packaging, transporting, and marketing. Food wastage also affects biodiversity and is a significant contributing factor in climate change, as along this process we release tons of greenhouse gases such as methane and carbon dioxide. It’s due time we open our eyes to the injustices being done. We need to keep in consideration that small steps can one day lead to a big impact! We need to bring awareness and show people that they can be the solution! Small steps like planning meals ahead of time, being aware of our wastage, and keeping our serving sizes in check can solve this global issue!

You're absolutely right with you. It's very sad that so much food goes to waste while people are still hungry. We need to be more mindful of our actions and take small steps to reduce food waste. Planning meals ahead, being aware of our wastage, and controlling serving sizes can make a big difference. Let's spread awareness and encourage others to join us in solving this global issue!
