Morning Starters: Summer 1 - Food for Thought
Clip Description
Food waste is a global issue, with one-third of all food produced going uneaten. This wastes important resources like water and energy, contributes to climate change (by releasing harmful greenhouse gases when left to rot in landfill sites) and exacerbates hunger by diverting food from those in need. Reducing food waste is very important for protecting our planet and making sure everyone has enough to eat.
