Son Tinh was the Spirit of the Mountain, and Thuy Tinh was the Spirit of the Waters. One day, they both appeared as young noblemen and asked to marry the princess.

to call the rivers and streams to rise. Soon, the land was covered with floods that destroyed crops and homes.

This text is for question number 6-10!

About 17 persen of global food production may go wasted, according to the UN Environment Programme’s (UNEP) Food Waste Index Report 2021, with 61 persen of this waste coming from households, 26 persen from food services, and 13% from retail. Food waste burdens waste management systems, increases food insecurity, and is a major contributor to the global problems of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.

The Food Waste Index is the first of its kind to highlight the scale of the problem. Indeed, it suggests that global food waste could be more than twice the size of earlier estimates. Previous studies indicated that consumer food waste was exclusively a problem in developed countries, with production, storage, and transportation losses thought to be particular issues in the developing world. However, the report found that household food waste per capita is similar across high-income, upper middle-income, and lower middle-income countries. There was insufficient data on low-income ones.

The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that 690 million people went hungry in 2019, with these figures likely to rise post-COVID. With food insecurity affecting so many people across the world, the World Economic Forum’s Incentivizing Food Systems Transformation report argues that a transformation of the food sector is required to establish sustainable, nutritious, and healthy food systems.

It estimates that food loss and waste costs the global economy $936 billion a year, with between 8-10% of global carbon emissions linked to unconsumed produce. Overall, food systems cost society $12 trillion dollars in health, economic and environmental costs – which is 20% more than the market value of food systems. The report outlines how food systems transformation can be incentivized, including by repurposing public investment and policies; redesigning business models; getting investors to set higher standards for companies; and encouraging consumers to shift demand to more socially-responsible products.

6. The main purpose of the passage is to ....

A. highlight the importance of changing the habits among consumers to bring down food waste.
