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 Waste
World farmers altogether produce 1.5 times the amount of food required to feed the global population, yet hunger is still a thing. According to the FAO, about 1.7 billion tons of food is wasted globally per year, and that’s a third of the amount of food produced globally. If humans learn to not waste, we could feed the entire human population and still have some extra.
