So far I know and can guess there's million or could be billion of dollars are set on budget as expense for entertainment [food] for guest coming/working/visiting any / one UN office round the world.
Current new advice came on board from UN to eat insect in order to have proper nutrition and to minimize food scarcity.

Lets have some hypothesis of such FOOD SCARCITY ->
1. In 2012 - 2013 total UN approved budget was $5.152 B.
http://www.un.org/en/hq/dm/pdfs/oppba/Regular%20Budget.pdf
2. If 2% of total amount has been used for food & related stuff (UN offices, for employee and guests) - $103.04 Million is in total.
3. Average annual budget for UNESCO is $326 Million. However due to US suspension of funding UNESCO is in shortfall of $188 Million.
So, we can make a corollary as, if UN follows its report, its possible to cover 60% of US contribution to UNESCO, which ensure better living with education, science and diversity.
