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!

leftovers
Things that can be used with leftovers include compost, which is great for the soil your plants grow in. Additionally, it reduces the need to use chemical fertilizers, which is beneficial for the planet since they release greenhouse gases into the air.
I totally agree with you, composting your leftovers from food can be an amazing fertilizer. On top of that, people can start growing their own produce using the compost and it will turn into a cycle that reduces food waste and promotes clean eating.
