3. What do animals eat?
All animals acquire energy from the food they eat. Depending on the
type of animal, this food may consist of plants, animals, or a
combination of both.

4. Producers:
Green plants prepare their own food by the process of
photosynthesis. Plants use sunlight Co2, water and chlorophyll for
the process of photosynthesis.
Consumers: Is an organism that feeds on plants or other animals for
energy. There are four types of consumers; herbivores (plant eaters),
carnivores (meat eaters), omnivores (plant and animal eaters), and
detritivores (decomposers).

5. Herbivores: Animals which eat only plants are called as herbivores. These
are also called as grass-eating animals. Ex: Cow, sheep, goat, deer, buffalo,
camel etc.
Carnivores: Animals which eat only small animals are called as carnivores.
These are also called as flesh-eating animals. Ex: Tiger, lion, jackals,
vultures etc.
Omnivores: Animals which eat both plants and animals are called as
omnivores. Ex: Human being, bear, crow etc.

and rotten materials for their food are called as decomposers.
Scavengers: An animal that eats only dead animals is called
scavengers.

7. The method of eating or choices of food followed by living organisms is
called as Food Habit.
Food habits of people:
In our country, people of different states have different food habits.

15. Reducing food loss and waste
World Hunger is on the rise; yet, an estimated 1/3 of all food produced globally
is lost or goes to waste.
We all have a part to play in reducing food loss and waste, not only for the
sake of the food but for the resources that go into it.
FAO is partnering with governments, international organizations, the private
sector and civil society to raise awareness on the issues and to implement
actions to address the root of the problem.
FAO is also working with governments to develop policies to reduce food loss
and waste.
