More food is grown than what would be needed to sustain the world’s population and many people consume so much food that they are actually overweight. However, the reality is that hunger and malnutrition still exists all over the world. While hunger affects people in even the richest countries in the world, hunger tends to affect greater numbers of people in underdeveloped countries. Food security affects individual wellbeing and relates to sustainability as well. To ensure that all people have access to nutritious food, we must therefore, make sustainable choices to ensure a healthy planet.
