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!

Hunger and Climate Change
Hunger is a feeling of discomfort caused by lack of food. Unfortunately, many people know what hunger feels like and some pass away from it. Some countries are low on food resources because of their environment or simply because they don't have any money. Climate change is one of many reasons people face hunger. Because of climate change, temperatures are changing which changes the environment. When a certain environment changes from its natural state, people and animals may not be able to adapt and animals not be able to access food and the number of food-deprived people will increase.
