滋补星球项目主任说除了贫困和缺乏食物的原因之外，许多的粮食单纯是被白费了。世界观察研究所估计每年都有13亿吨的粮食被浪费掉。
"_____________________________________________________. The good news about that 20 to 50 percent of global food waste number is that it’s easy to prevent food waste. We can do it in our homes. Consumers can do a lot to prevent food waste by planning meals better, by not buying too much food. In the developing world there are storage systems that are beginning to be put in place that help farmers (are) protect their food from crop diseases or pests or molds and fungus.”
“_____________________________________________________。但是，值得欣慰的是我们很容易能阻止那20%-50%粮食的浪费且我们在自己家庭里面就可以完成。消费者通过不要买过多食物和更好地安排规划三餐就可以阻止和预防很多的食物浪费。发展中国家正在开始落实存储系统以帮助农民保护其粮食免受作物疾病、害虫或是霉菌和真菌的侵害。”
**** Hidden Message ***** 20 to 50 percent of global food harvest is wated before and it's really a moral problem when you consider all the people who are hungery in the world.
