ted talks review

One of the ted talks that stood out to me was Tristram Stuart: The global food waste scandle. It involves just about every restaurant, grocery stores, and farms. And USA is among the highest in waist. We have twice as much food on our shelves and in restaurants to feed the American population. Most rich countries have 3 to 4 times the amount of food to feed them. There is a huge barrier between rich countries and the country’s that struggle to feed their population. 40 percent of the food goes to trash and animals. 13 thousand slices of bread crusts are trashed every day in factories. And farmers throw away 3rd of their crops because of cosmetic standards. Mounds and mounds of crops that are perfectly fine but are not the right size or color.  40 to 60 percent of fish in Europe are tossed into the sea before landing. Some food waist can’t be prevented. If we start feeding pigs, and other anaerobic digesters the amount of CO2 that could be saved is 11,600 kg CO2e. Feeding the 5000 is an event that takes place in London. It is feeding 5000 people all on food that would be thrown away as waist. And is happening international event that celebrates food and our land.
