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!

Everyday food

The planet, due to the over production in fast food chains is being immensely impacted, and cannot sustain the amount of carbon that is being released into the earth's atmosphere by these chains. I propose that we, as a society, change how we live our lives, and start going to local food shops, or farmers markets, so we can change the lives of the future generations, and our own now.

I completely agree with your statement. Fast food chains contribute massively to carbon emissions and environmental degradation. Supporting local food shops and farmers markets promotes sustainability, reduces transportation pollution, and encourages healthier eating habits. By making conscious choices now, we protect the planet’s resources and ensure a cleaner, healthier future for coming generations.

I agree, many grocery stores don't accept any produce that may look unappealing to customers even if they are still edible and just as good as normal ones; this could be determined by shape, size, and smell alone. What usually happens to these foods is that they don’t get sold and are wasted. Buying from food markets instead of large corporations could positively affect the food waste ratio.

I agree, food waste is a pretty big contributor to our carbon footprints because it is something that we have for everyday life. Most foods get thrown away just by how they are shaped or if they aren't appealing enough as you said, Which takes away A resort or food that someone else could've had.
