1.3 billion tons of food is wasted every year, while 870 million people remain
under-nourished. Such waste is unacceptable at a time when millions go hungry.
With a rising impact on our environment, we must develop more sustainable
methods of food production. We need to think about what we eat in order to save
our planet.This is the Think.Eat.Save message of World Environment Day. This must start with each of us, with the way we think and act, and this is why
education is so important. As lead agency for the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014), UNESCO works to empower learners with new attitudes and values, to change their behaviours and lifestyles. Sustainability is a responsibility that we all share, and this includes eating wisely and saving food. Schools are the frontline in the struggle against waste, hunger and malnutrition.
