Les Gens Gaspillent-ils la Nourriture
Il est important que les élèves comprennent pourquoi les ressources sont importantes. Prenez le temps d’aider vos élèves à comprendre les risques de la sécurité alimentaire alors que nous nous efforçons à nourrir une population croissante. Il existe des risques pour la sécurité alimentaire dans toutes les parties du monde, et il y a une menace importante à laquelle nous contribuons tous — le gaspillage alimentaire.

There are food security risks in all parts of the world, and there is one prominent threat that we all contribute to—food waste.
