A World of Waste and Hunger: It’s Time to Do Better

Every night, millions of people around the world go to bed hungry, not because there isn’t enough food, but because of how poorly it is distributed and managed. At the same time, tons of perfectly edible food are thrown away daily — in restaurants, supermarkets, and even our homes.

This contradiction is heartbreaking. 🍽️💔🌍

🌾 The Global Food Crisis: A Man-Made Problem

Hunger isn’t just a result of droughts or poor harvests. In many cases, it’s caused by inequality, waste, and neglect. According to the United Nations:

Over 800 million people suffer from chronic hunger.
Nearly 1/3 of all food produced globally is wasted — that’s about 1.3 billion tons every year.

From uneaten leftovers to expired items that never left the shelf, food is lost at every stage of the supply chain — while others struggle to eat even once a day.

🏠 What Causes So Much Waste?

Overbuying: We often purchase more than we need and throw away the rest.
Cosmetic Standards: Fruits and vegetables that don’t “look perfect” are discarded.
Lack of Awareness: Many people don’t realize how much they waste or how it affects others.
Inefficient Supply Chains: Poor storage, transportation, and distribution mean food spoils before it reaches those in need.

💡 What Can We Do?
