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!

Swiss Research
My Carbon Footprints is less than the Swiss average, however it's 2 o 3 times higher then the global average!! I didn't imagine that was possible so it's given me food for thought. For example I've been thinking about Food wastage. Swiss Research has found that 30% of food is thrown away unnecessarily. At the Swiss Government webside you can find out more about this.
