Why Are People Starving When There Is Enough Food Grown To Feed The Human Population

from Policy and Rights · host Michael Clogs

“Global food systems are broken - and billions of people are paying the price.”According to UN estimates, over 780 million people experience hunger, almost one-third of all food produced globally is lost or wasted and nearly three billion people cannot afford healthy diets.Developing countries face additional challenges, as limited resources and debt burdens prevent them from investing fully in food systems which can produce to nutritious food across the social spectrum. Unsustainable food production, packaging and consumption are also contributing to the climate crisis, accounting for a third of all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, 70 per cent of the world’s freshwater usage, and driving biodiversity loss.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/policy-and-rights--3339563/support.
