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
From my carbon footprint calculator I learned that my choices with my food have been good and I don't leave too big of a footprint. My policy towards food would be that food should be portioned and not taken for granted. This way if a famine were ever to arise then we would have a surplus. This policy would alleviate world hunger because we could donate some of our excess food to less privileged countries.
