Answer to Question 1

In a hungry world, one-third of total annual production is lost to spoilage, pests, or waste each year, squandering not just the food but the resources spent to produce, package, and transport it. The old proverb Waste not, want not seems to apply because preventing even half of the current food waste could provide food for huge numbers of people without using a single additional acre of farmland, drop of water, or barrel of oil.

Answer to Question 2

This phrase pertains to solutions for addressing food insecurity. While providing food relief to the hungry is critical, developing sustainable long-term solutions that attack the underlying problems of limited food access, low wages, and poverty are equally important. Thus a combination of various strategies can help to build food security within a community.
