After reading chapter 1 in State of the World, I thought about how much food I waste from a day to day basis. For example, after dinner I throw all of my left-over's down the drain or in the trash. Also, I thought about food processing in America and the overall quality. It made me think how fortunate I am to be able to live in a country with plenty of food and where starvation and hunger is not an issue. I've always known that Africa was a poor country that doesn't have many resources, but I never realized why. Chapter 1 explained to me why their methods of crop growing are failing and that many people need to be educated about proper farming techniques. Personally, I think I can help out by buying fruits and vegetables at a local farmers market. This chapter was very eye opening and I am excited to read more.
