Although there was theoretically enough to eat, there were two major shortfalls in important nutrients – calcium and vitamin E. Globally, they were short by about a third, on average. We simplistically assume that if we could only stop or reduce food waste, all would be well. But even if we could prevent all food waste in the world it would not solve the shortage of vitamin E and calcium. Meaning, not just enough to fill stomachs, but all the different vitamins and minerals you need for good health and development. Delta starts with how to feed people first, and then tries to fit the scenarios within environmental and economic sustainability constraints.
