How to Feed the World
The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) has released a plan to
feed the world without contaminating it further by making better use of
resources and cutting down on massive waste. UNEP Executive Director
Achim Steiner noted that massive amounts of cereal are fed to farmed
animals while people go hungry, that 30 million tons of fish are
discarded at sea annually, that almost one-third of all food purchased
in the United Kingdom each year is not eaten and that in the US losses
and food waste could be as high as 40-50 percent.

UNEP gives food for thought
Currently, 1/3 of the world's grains are fed to farmed animals and in
the US the figure is 2/3. There is no room for greed and waste in God's
Earth. As stewards, we need to make sure that our planet and its
inhabitants live in harmony while using resources mindfully, taking into
consideration our health, animals and the environment.
