As we all know, every bit of food we eat comes from hard work. It’s not easy to turn a seed into the food you can eat. Recently, to help students better understand this, Zhejiang held an activity. Under the hot sun, hundreds of students went to a field to experience farming.With the help of others, they better understood how hard farming was.
Many countries are facing the food shortage problem now. According to the UN, there are 820 million people living in hunger today.Our country used to face this problem, too. In the 1960s, many people even died from hunger. In 1973,Yuan Longping and his team succeeded in the development of hybrid (杂交).
When we waste food, we waste not only food but also resources (资源) for growing, time and water. Wasting food also creates greenhouse gas. So food waste is bad for the environment, too.
Please value what you’re eating.
