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!

I learned that my eating happens are fairly good, but I could just stop eating dairy altogether. If I could translate what I learned into an effective societal policy on food I would inform everyone on how harmful eating meat is for the environment. If we start eating less meat, there would be more food to go around. Therefore it would be easier for families in low-income places to get food.
