Food & Hunger

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!

Food and Hunger

AdamUS

Hunger is still a big worldwide problem today. In 2022 nearly 258 million people across 58 countries faced extreme hunger and severity. It’s clear that this is and will continue to be a major problem across the world. Although it is a big problem, there are ways to help the problem be less severe. One way to help the problem is to increase accessibility of food. If the United Nations worked together, they could make food more accessible for poverty stricken countries that don’t have easy access to food. Another way to help decrease hunger in the world is for countries to put an emphasis on decreasing food waste. If people didn’t waste so much food, there would be less hunger in the world. This may seem obvious but, many people waste a lot of food alone, not to mention the whole world. According to Recycle Track Systems, In the U.S. alone nearly 120 billion pounds of food are wasted every year. This is just the United States. If the whole world is taken into account there is no doubt it would be much more. Although countries are making efforts to help solve hunger, it’s safe to say it isn’t helping much. For example, the USDA has programs that support child nutrition and provide technical assistance to farmers. A lot of countries are doing small things to help with the problem of world hunger, but it is still not enough. There are millions of people all over the world facing hunger. If we all do our part it will help decrease the problem but it won’t eliminate it. Hunger is just one major economic problem. There are many other things that affect our planet.
