    Study Notes

    Food Waste Reduction

    • Food waste is a significant issue globally, with approximately 1/3 of all food produced being lost or wasted.
    • Causes of food waste:
      • Cosmetic standards: rejection of imperfect produce
      • Overproduction and oversupply
      • Confusion over expiration dates
      • Inadequate storage and logistics
    • Consequences of food waste:
      • Environmental impact: greenhouse gas emissions, water waste, and landfill waste
      • Economic impact: financial losses for farmers, producers, and consumers
      • Social impact: food insecurity and inequality
    • Strategies for reducing food waste:
      • Improve supply chain efficiency and logistics
      • Implement "ugly" or "imperfect" produce sales
      • Educate consumers about expiration dates and food storage
      • Develop food waste reduction targets and policies

    Sustainable Agriculture

    • Sustainable agriculture aims to produce food while protecting the environment, improving social equity, and promoting economic viability.
    • Key principles:
      • Conservation of natural resources (water, soil, biodiversity)
      • Minimization of chemical use and pollution
      • Promotion of ecosystem services (pollination, pest control)
      • Support for small-scale, local, and organic farming
    • Benefits of sustainable agriculture:
      • Environmental benefits: reduced pollution, preserved biodiversity, and climate change mitigation
      • Social benefits: improved livelihoods for farmers, increased food security, and community development
      • Economic benefits: increased profitability, reduced costs, and improved market access

    Responsible Water Management

    • Water is a critical resource for food production, with agriculture accounting for approximately 70% of global water use.
    • Key challenges:
      • Water scarcity: limited availability of freshwater resources
      • Water waste: inefficient use of water in agriculture
      • Water pollution: contamination of water sources through agricultural practices
    • Strategies for responsible water management:
      • Implement efficient irrigation systems and technologies
      • Promote water-saving practices and crop selection
      • Protect and restore watersheds and aquatic ecosystems
      • Implement water recycling and reuse programs

    Big Food Corporations and Toxic Chemicals

    • The food industry is dominated by a few large corporations, which can have significant environmental and social impacts.
    • Key issues:
      • Concentration of power: limited competition and market control
      • Environmental degradation: pollution, deforestation, and habitat destruction
      • Social exploitation: low wages, poor working conditions, and human rights abuses
    • Concerns about toxic chemicals:
      • Pesticide use: environmental and health impacts, including contamination of water and soil
      • Use of synthetic fertilizers: soil degradation, water pollution, and climate change
      • Presence of additives and preservatives: potential health risks and unknown long-term effects
