No Waste No Hunger: A model for ending world hunger and reducing food waste?

    NEW YORK, NY, January 06, 2023 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Mediamark Digital | Each year, worldwide, we waste 1 trillion dollars worth of food—enough to feed 2 billion people! Yet 828 million people are living in hunger. This is still a huge problem. A global problem!

The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals are a set of goals that were agreed upon by all 193 UN member states in 2015. These goals cover issues ranging from poverty to health and wellness, to climate change and clean energy. One of these goals is to end hunger, achieve food security and improve nutrition while ensuring sustainable agriculture.

Every year, global food waste costs $1 trillion–enough money to feed 2 billion people! That's why we're excited that a new project called "No Waste No Hunger" will aim to educate people about the importance of reducing food waste.

The project is created by Mediamark Digital Agency and will start with 7 ambassadors from different countries who will help to reach more people and remind them of the importance of reducing waste.

Youssef Esawy, a well-known model and fashion content creator joined the #NoWasteNoHunger campaign. The model has more than 3.7M cumulative followers on Instagram and TikTok is passionate to help the Project to remind people about food waste and global hunger issues. Youssef has inspired millions with his creative ideas and quality content.

Gulpari Bayramova, a successful Azerbaijani businesswoman joined the #NoWasteNoHunger campaign. Mrs. Bayramova is the chairperson of the Azerbaijan International Business Partners Club (BPC) and the founder of the Agromix Company. She is recognized as one of the most distinguished female entrepreneurs in Azerbaijan because of her social outreach activities. Gulpari Bayramova was among those awarded the "Dayaq" Award as a successful female entrepreneur of 2022 in Azerbaijan.

Lauren Sesselmann is the next ambassador who joined the "No Waste No Hunger" project. She is an American-born Canadian soccer player and Olympic bronze medalist who is currently playing as a defender or a forward for the Santa Clarita Blue Heat. She was also a member of the Canada national team from 2011 to 2015 and is also a trainer, producer, and host of the fitness DVD program "Fit As A Pro with Lauren Sesselmann". Sesselmann was named to the 18-player Canadian squad for the 2011 Pan American Games at Guadalajara.

More ambassadors will be announced soon on the Project's official website, https://nowastenohunger.com/.

As the 2022 Global Hunger Index (GHI) shows, the global hunger situation is undeniably grim. The overlapping crises facing the world are exposing the weaknesses of food systems, from global to local, and highlighting the vulnerability of populations around the world to hunger. Global progress against hunger has largely stagnated in recent years. The 2022 GHI score for the world is considered moderate, but at 18.2, it shows only a slight decline from the 2014 score of 19.1. Indeed, one indicator used in the GHI, the prevalence of undernourishment, shows that the share of people who lack regular access to sufficient calories is increasing. As many as 828 million people were undernourished in 2021, representing a reversal of more than a decade of progress against hunger. Without a major shift, neither the world as a whole nor approximately 46 countries are projected to achieve even low hunger as measured by the GHI by 2030.
