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!

Get rid of World Hunger
I learned that my eating habits aren’t that great. I eat a lot of food, but what I don’t eat I just throw in the trash. I should be composting a lot more. If I could tell everyone in the world to compost more and everyone did it, I think the world would be a lot better off. The food that we don’t eat would be turned into fertilizer which could help more food and we would have more food over a long time. The more food we have, the less people go hungry.
I agree with you. Hunger is a global problem and while we're wasting resources too much some people don't even have food to eat or water to drink. We should make our local communities collect food for those in need and give it to our city's charity so they can make meals for the poor.
I agree, I think people eat a lot of food and throw a whole meal away. I think we should use that extra food to donate it to food banks or give it to some homeless people. We can make a big change to the world if we implement this internationally.
