This month on good.is, we are focusing on the topic of security. And not just security from a national defense and privacy standpoint (although you can check out the infographic above from Column Five about how much Americans pay to secure state secrets). But whether examining global food insecurity or how safet we are from natural and environmental disasters, our archive of GOOD infographics explores how we can examine what's secure in our lives.
What's Wrong With Our Food System?
Around the world every night, one in seven people go to bed hungry—that's almost one billion people. People are hungry not because there isn't enough food produced but because our food system is broken. In fact, 80% of the world's hungry are directly involved in food production. We can address this hunger if we support small-scale food producers, tackle climate change, and reduce food waste. Check out our latest infographic to learn about some of the ways that the food system can be fixed to improve the quality of life for millions.
