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 & Hunger
Food and hunger are still big problems in many parts of the world. It is strange because there is enough food being produced, but it is not shared equally. A lot of food is also wasted every day, especially in richer countries. This makes the problem worse. I think people can help by being more careful with food. For example, not throwing away food and only buying what they need. Schools and governments can also help by educating people and improving how food is distributed. Hunger is not just about lack of food, but also about how we manage it.
