I have been scanning data about Organic Farming and it is NOW estimated that modern practices, with a small modification in dietary habits, could feed 9.2 BILLION people. The World already produces 3000kcals per person per day in foodstuffs, spoilage and waste accounts for the hunger and starvation in the World. We in the West are responsible for between 600 and 800lbs of ruined or wasted food per person per year. A lot of this is due to crop spoilage, supermarket waste etc, but remember your contribution when you clear out your fridge and cupboards.

One of my pet hates is wasted food. In my home I do not mind how quickly the fruit bowl, fridge or bread bin are emptied as long as nothing goes in the trash.
