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!

want not, waste not
One problem I think our society has is defiantly wasting our food. So often food is thrown away that is still good to use. For example a huge portion of Canada's food productions is wasted, either during delivery or thrown away when it hasn't expired . I feel we could try to help fix this is by only buying what you know you need and by menu planning, not buying in bulk whatever's on sale.
