what comes to mind when I think of FEW Nexus

 (7) PCGS Navigating the FEW Nexus

his is a story about four people named 
Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.

There was an important job to be done and 
Everybody was asked to do it.

Everybody was sure Somebody would do it.

Anybody could have done it, 
but Nobody did it.

Somebody got angry about that, 
because it was Everybody's job.

Everybody thought Anybody could do it, 
but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody 
when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

We are eating our Planet!

We are eating our Planet!


According to the Global Footprint Network, on 2 August last year, global demand for natural resources exceeded the amount of resources that Earth is able to generate in the same year. Most of these resources were used to produce food, but 1/3 of those foods were binned or wasted , as shown by data from the Food Sustainability Index.

What does food waste mean for the Planet?

First of all, food waste accounts for approximately 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions. It is also a symptom of land over-exploitation, and therefore wasting land to farm food that nobody eats. Reducing this waste could save up to 1.4 billion hectares of land that is, 30% of available agricultural surface.

Wasting food also means wasting many other resources offered by our Planet that are used in food production, such as water. This is not a random example: it is estimated that every year, the volume of water used in food production is equivalent to the flow of the Russian river Volga. That is why wasting food means wasting huge amounts of water.
