The numbers really made us wonder. How can people be hunger when we waste so much

Yes, we thought more about the ability to share. Hunting families trading meat for those that had too much in the garden. Also the berry farms about hadn't been mentioned often.
Has this kit prompted any new food related initiatives within your school?
We are shopping the pantry and chosing recipes based on in season options, also what can we bulk buy and section up for future use.
