Food management

[Julian-Dumitrascu]

1. Feelings
   1.1 It breaks my heart that some people rummage through garbage for food.
   1.2 How do you feel when you see someone starving?

2. What does it mean to lack food?
   2.1 Some people die of hunger.
   2.2 One usually eats food of lower quality.
   2.3 The probability of sickness increases.

3. Why do people feed themselves from garbage bins?
   When one must eat, one can do anything in order stay alive, even if it increases the risk of becoming sick.

4. Why does a time come when one has hardly anything to eat?
   4.1 In some cases, one hasn't managed to provide services for enough money.
   4.2 Sometimes one saves rather little money or resources.

5. What can we do?
   5.1 How can we give food to people who want it?
   5.1.1 Anybody who wants food can walk into a Sol kitchen.
   Depending on the terms laid out by its customers, we can reduce the price for some items by up to 100%.
   Anybody who helps a Sol team feed people can discuss with Sol and with the helped people the terms under which the help is provided.
   One can renounce any title to any resource and just manage resources together with others. When? Where?
   5.1.2 When one wants to renounce some food, one can let us know.
   We can carry it to people who want food.
   5.2 One can walk into a Sol office or contact us over the Internet to ask for support.
   One can donate resources or money e.g. through Sol Support.
   5.3 We can waste less food.
   5.3.1 It seems we waste the most food in our households: maybe half of what we waste.
   How are we doing this?
   If we simply throw it away, we can ask Sol teams to improve the flow of food to us, so that we avoid wasting food.
   5.3.2 It seems almost a third of the wasting takes place outside our homes.
   To the extent restaurants are a waste of money and food, we can use the services of Sol Food.
   5.3.3 It seems we lose the most food after harvest in Africa.
   We lose large percentages of plants.
   5.4 We can save other resources.
   5.4.1 It seems that we use the most land per kilogram for producing:
   a. mutton
   b. beef
   c. cheese
   d. chocolate
   e. coffee
   f. pork
   I can live without these meats, cheese, cocoa, and coffee.
   These products are usually not the first choices of the poorest people.
   5.5 We can help people get in better shape, so that they become more able to grow / buy food.
   5.6 We can help people to increase their current capital, even from (almost) nothing.

6. Challenges
   6.1 The ratio between population and available food / land is increasing.
