Disposal is the least preferable treatment of food waste, as high environmental impacts may occur, and no valuable resources are recovered.Environmental Impact of Agro-Food Industry and Food Consumptiondoi:10.1016/B978-0-12-821363-6.00011-4Gudrun Obersteiner...
As awareness of the connection between food waste and climate change grows globally, a new report illustrates the environmental impact of China’s food waste in stark detail.
Fig. 1: Specific methods and thought of shock-impact-response framework. The left panel shows the simulation of country-level change in food production and supply, the middle panel shows the estimated environmental impacts of type-specific food shortage, the right panel aims to optimize the food...
holistic environmental impact assessment of FLW generation and treatment and analysis of the trade-offs among different environmental impact categories and between supply chain stages, which would better inform relevant policy on effective environmental impact mitigation strategies toward sustainable food ...
The outcomes can inform relevant policymaking and benchmark FLW reduction and envi-ronmental impact mitigation in China. Our conceptual framework and the approach we take can also be adapted for applications in other countries or regions.Characteristics of FLWThe food supply chain is commonly ...
Food loss and waste (FLW) hampers global food security, human health and environmental sustainability. However, monitoring and benchmarking FLW reduction is often constrained by the lack of reliable and consistent data, especially for emerging economies. Here we use 6 yr large-scale field surveys...
Food waste constitutes a global concern with wide-ranging environmental repercussions. In this chapter, we delve into the assessment of food waste's environmental impact, underscoring its significant effects on our planet. The chapter explores the primary drivers behind food waste and examines the econ...
Food consumption is amongst the main drivers of environmental impacts. On one hand, there is the need to fulfil a fundamental human need for nutrition, and on the other hand this poses critical threats to the environment. In order to assess the environmental impact of food consumption, a lifec...
根据最后一段Still,waste can't be avoided.There's never going to be some ideal or perfect way to eliminate it all.Fortunately,change at any level,whether it's as a supplier,retailer or consumer,will help ease the impact of food waste on natural resources.(然而,浪费是无...
rises to 33% when food waste is included in the equation. Climate change might be the headline consequence of food production, but it’s not the only environmental impact the industry engenders, either. We take a closer look at some of the major environmental implications...
