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 and Hunger
It is a very good idea to cute down on beef and dairy consumption. Lots of grains and water are needed to raise and feed these cows. These important resources could be used to feed much of the many people that are going hungry. Acres and acres of important rainforests are being cut down to raise these cows. Cows also release lots of methane into the air.
