In the last 100 years food waste has amounted to 1.3 billion tons per year. That's almost half of the global production. There is clearly no need to produce more food to solve hunger.
- Blahah 12y agoThat would only be true if the food wasted would otherwise be going to the world's hungry. This is not the case. Most of the world's poor do not import food, they grow it in their immediate vicinity. Increased yields help them directly. If you have a solution to the food distribution problem, by all means let's work on that at the same time. But there's no reason not to work on crop efficiency.
