In a message to the International Fund for Agricultural Development, the Pope has warned of the dangers of food waste, highlighting that it damages the climate whilst it could feed the world’s hungry. The Pope says our world faces a heart-breaking dichotomy related to food: ‘On the one hand, millions of people are plagued by hunger, while on the other hand, great insensitivity is seen in the waste of food.’ This food waste each year produces masses of greenhouse gases, while proper rationing would be enough to feed all the hungry, he said.
