Hunger in a World of Waste: A Global Paradox

While 828 million people go hungry worldwide, billions of tons of food are wasted annually. This juxtaposition paints a stark picture of inequality in food distribution.

Why Does This Happen?

• Inefficient Supply Chains: Poor storage and transportation methods lead to spoilage.

• Excess Production: Overproduction leads to surplus, much of which goes unused.

• Consumer Habits: Purchasing more than needed contributes to waste.

How You Can Help

• Support Food Banks: Donate excess food to local charities.

• Be Mindful: Buy only what you need and share surplus with neighbors.

• Advocate for Change: Push for policies that prioritize food recovery programs.

By addressing this paradox, we can build a future where no one goes hungry.
