Consumers in North America and Europe waste about 209 to 253 pounds of food per person every year. The USDA says the average person in the U.S. eats 4.7 pounds of food per day. So that means the amount of food we each waste in the U.S. per year would feed us for about one and a half to two months (44 to 54 days to be exact).

Franklin (2002) argued that too much global investment is concentrated in the rich world and less than 1/3 goes to the poor ones including Africa. This has definitely had negative impact on information profession."

Ruth Rikowski Globalisation is a phenomenon that is pervading the world. Yet, what exactly is 'globalisation'? More accurately, it should be referred to as 'global capitalism'. 'Globalisation' has been defined in a variety of ways and some of these definitions have been highlighted in a report on 'Globalisation', which has been produced by the House of Lords Select Committee on Economic Affairs.
