Emerging Challenges
-
FS
- The food we eat reaches us via food supply chains through which food moves in a domino-like motion from producers to consumers.
- A food supply chain is domino-like: When one part of the food supply chain is affected, the whole food supply chain is affected (which is often manifested through changes in price).
- The steps of supply chain requires human and/or natural resources.
Food Supply Chain:
Food Production →
Food Processing/Packaging →
Food Distribution →
Grocery & Retail/Food Services →
Food Consumers
GHG
- The increasing heat in the atmosphere leads to global warming.
This is a gaseous compound in the atmosphere that is capable of absorbing infrared radiation, thereby trapping and holding heat in the atmosphere
Sources
-
-
- Transporting Food Products
-
- Use of Nitrogen-based Fertilizer;
-
- Decomposition of Food Waste in Landfill;
-
Causes
- temperature extremes, heat waves, and heavy rains will continue to escalate in frequency
- The earth’s temperature and seas will continue to rise into the next millennium
- increase in global temperature is a result of human activities.
