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!

Multi layer farming

Kyelle

Farmers usually farm one crop in their fields but with multi-layer farm crops can be stronger, more biodiverse, improve yield, reduce weed competition, reduce soil erosion, and more.

I agree! By planting various crops, farmers can not only improve the strength and yield of their crops, it also helps maintain bee populations! By having multiple kinds of plants or crops that different bees can pollinate, it helps make sure that the burden of pollinating isn't left onto one local bee population. With multiple populations of bees, it can help reduce the risk of bees becoming endangered.
