Each year, worldwide, we waste 1 trillion dollars worth of food—enough to feed 2 billion people! Yet 828 million people are living in hunger. When you think about how many people are suffering from this issue, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the scale of it all. But there are ways we can help change things: with your help and support, we can make this world a better place for everyone!
The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals are a set of goals that were agreed upon by all 193 UN member states in 2015. These goals cover issues ranging from poverty to health and wellness, to climate change and clean energy. One of these goals is to end hunger, achieve food security and improve nutrition while ensuring sustainable agriculture.
Every year, global food waste costs $1 trillion–enough money to feed 2 billion people! That's why we're excited that a new project called "No Waste No Hunger" will aim to educate people about the importance of reducing food waste.
The project is created by Mediamark Digital Agency and will start with ambassadors from different countries who will help to reach more people and remind them of the importance of reducing waste.
