Do you think that living a hungry life is last century’s story? Well, it may be this century’s headline.

The world has growing about a global food shortage. Right now, there are still 870 million hungry people in the world, according to a survey of the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization. Children can’t this, either. Around fifteen million children die of hungry each year.

What’s causing food shortages? There are several .

There are now more droughts and floods. This is very to farmers and their ability to grow food.

Besides, with the growing , feeding everyone becomes more difficult. There are a little more than seven billion people in the world. By 2050, the world population will be more than nine billion.

Another reason is food waste. The average person throws away 50kg of food every year.

How can we help with food shortages? The easiest way is to on food waste.

Next time before throwing away the food on your plate, just think work has been done to make it. By buying less, we waste less. This takes the pressure off producing so much food. And it helps to solve the problem of food shortage.

You can also ask your schoolmates to join you.

In the early 2016, staff workers from the canteens of Xiamen No.1 High School put up short anti-waste slogans (标语) in dining rooms “Think Before You Waste”. Guess what happened? Students wasted fifteen percent food after that!

Let’s take action! We don’t need a huge activity to make a difference.
