2023 Teens Dream - Zero Hunger

Look at the irony of life where millions of people ar starved for food while tons of it is getting wasted every single day! The tendency to spend is growing, and so is the tendency to waste.

According to the World Food Organization, 40% of the food grains produced by a country are getting wasted every year. Statistics show that the money equivalent to the food wasted could have bettered the life of 50 million children.

We cannot ensure food security without stopping wastage. The wastage of food has an adverse impact on air, soil, water and the planet’s entire ecology. Food waste release more than 3 billion tons of dangerous greenhouse gases.

We learn from childhood the habits of not wasting food but make it firm during teenage and grow as a responsible adult. The platetopeople.org collects the surplus edible food from restaurants, groceries store, schools and farmers markets that was not sold, to White Pony Express which delivers food to homeless shelters.
