"UN Report: Over 1 Billion Meals Wasted Daily While 783 Million Face Chronic Hunger"

A United Nations report reveals that over 1 billion meals are wasted daily while nearly 800 million people suffer from hunger, with 1.05 billion metric tons of food wasted in 2022. Approximately a third of all food is lost during the production process, raising concerns about global food distribution. The report emphasizes the role of food waste in driving climate change and highlights the need for improved monitoring and action, as food waste generates significant planet-heating emissions and contributes to methane production in landfills.

"Seaweed: The Key Food for Human Survival in a Nuclear War"

In the event of a nuclear war, scientists suggest that humanity could be saved from global starvation by seaweed, particularly kelp farms, which could potentially feed up to 1.2 billion people and replace 15% of current food consumption. With the Doomsday Clock ticking closer to midnight and fears of global conflicts reignited, researchers have found that seaweed could be an unlikely hero in the event of a nuclear war, helping to mitigate the drastic drop in global food production caused by the environmental effects of such a conflict.
