    The world is throwing away a shocking amount of food. A report【C1】________ that at least a third of the 4 billion tonnes of food the world produces each year never gets as far as our mouths.
    Between 30% and 50% of food【C2】________ in Europe and the US is thrown away.

Globally, the cost, in money, energy and ever-scarcer water, is【C4】________.
    Our future food security has been【C5】________ the top 10 of current global worries. The prospect of feeding a mid-century planet of around 9 billion people looks impossible without major changes to farming and our diet.

【C6】
选项
答案A
