Reducing food waste would mitigate climate change, study shows
April 7, 2016
Reducing food waste around the world would help curb
emissions of planet-warming gases, lessening some of the
impacts of climate change such as more extreme weather
and rising seas, scientists said on Thursday.
Up to 14% of emissions from agriculture in 2050 could
be avoided by managing food use and distribution better,
according to a new study from the Potsdam Institute for
Climate Impact Research (PIK). “Agriculture is a major
driver of climate change, accounting for more than 20% of
overall global greenhouse gas emissions in 2010,” said
co-author Prajal Pradhan. “Avoiding food loss and waste would
therefore avoid unnecessary greenhouse gas emissions and
help mitigate climate change.”
Between 30 and 40% of food produced around the world
is never eaten, because it is spoiled after harvest and during
transportation, or thrown away by shops and consumers. The
share of food wasted is expected to increase drastically if emerging economies like China and India adopt western food
habits, including a shift to eating more meat, the researchers
warned. Richer countries tend to consume more food than is
healthy or simply waste it, they noted.
As poorer countries develop and the world’s population
grows, emissions associated with food waste could soar
from 0.5 gigatonnes (GT) of carbon dioxide equivalent per
year to between 1.9 and 2.5 GT annually by mid-century,
showed the study published in the Environmental Science &
Technology journal. It is widely argued that cutting food waste
and distributing the world’s surplus food where it is needed
could help tackle hunger in places that do not have enough -
especially given that land to expand farming is limited.
But Jürgen Kropp, another of the study’s co-authors and
PIK’s head of climate change and development, told the
Thomson Reuters Foundation the potential for food waste
curbs to reduce emissions should be given more attention.
“It is not a strategy of governments at the moment,” he said.

Leia o trecho inicial de Raízes do Brasil, do historiador brasileiro Sérgio Buarque de Holanda (1902-1982), para responder à questão.
A tentativa de implantação da cultura europeia em extenso território, dotado de condições naturais, se não adversas,
largamente estranhas à sua tradição milenar, é, nas origens
da sociedade brasileira, o fato dominante e mais rico em consequências. Trazendo de países distantes nossas formas de
convívio, nossas instituições, nossas ideias, e timbrando em
manter tudo isso em ambiente muitas vezes desfavorável e
hostil, somos ainda hoje uns desterrados em nossa terra. Podemos construir obras excelentes, enriquecer nossa humanidade de aspectos novos e imprevistos, elevar à perfeição o
tipo de civilização que representamos: o certo é que todo o
fruto de nosso trabalho ou de nossa preguiça parece participar de um sistema de evolução próprio de outro clima e de
outra paisagem.
Assim, antes de perguntar até que ponto poderá alcançar bom êxito a tentativa, caberia averiguar até onde temos
podido representar aquelas formas de convívio, instituições e
ideias de que somos herdeiros.
É significativa, em primeiro lugar, a circunstância de termos recebido a herança através de uma nação ibérica. A Espanha e Portugal são, com a Rússia e os países balcânicos
(e em certo sentido também a Inglaterra), um dos territórios-
-ponte pelos quais a Europa se comunica com os outros mundos. Assim, eles constituem uma zona fronteiriça, de transição, menos carregada, em alguns casos, desse europeísmo que, não obstante, mantêm como um patrimônio necessário.
Foi a partir da época dos grandes descobrimentos marítimos que os dois países entraram mais decididamente no
coro europeu. Esse ingresso tardio deveria repercutir intensamente em seus destinos, determinando muitos aspectos
peculiares de sua história e de sua formação espiritual. Surgiu, assim, um tipo de sociedade que se desenvolveria, em
alguns sentidos, quase à margem das congêneres europeias,
e sem delas receber qualquer incitamento que já não trouxesse em germe.
Quais os fundamentos em que assentam de preferência
as formas de vida social nessa região indecisa entre a Europa e a África, que se estende dos Pireneus a Gibraltar? Como
explicar muitas daquelas formas, sem recorrer a indicações
mais ou menos vagas e que jamais nos conduziriam a uma
estrita objetividade?
Precisamente a comparação entre elas e as da Europa
de além-Pireneus faz ressaltar uma característica bem peculiar à gente da península Ibérica, uma característica que ela
está longe de partilhar, pelo menos na mesma intensidade,
com qualquer de seus vizinhos do continente. É que nenhum
desses vizinhos soube desenvolver a tal extremo essa cultura
da personalidade, que parece constituir o traço mais decisivo
na evolução da gente hispânica, desde tempos imemoriais.
Pode dizer-se, realmente, que pela importância particular que
atribuem ao valor próprio da pessoa humana, à autonomia de
cada um dos homens em relação aos semelhantes no tempo
e no espaço, devem os espanhóis e portugueses muito de
sua originalidade nacional. [...]
É dela que resulta largamente a singular tibieza das formas de organização, de todas as associações que impliquem
solidariedade e ordenação entre esses povos. Em terra onde
todos são barões não é possível acordo coletivo durável, a
não ser por uma força exterior respeitável e temida.
(Raízes do Brasil, 2000.)



In developing countries there are high levels of what is known as “food loss”, which is unintentional wastage, often due to poor equipment, transportation and infrastructure. In wealthy countries, there are low levels of unintentional losses but high levels of “food waste”, which involves food being thrown away by consumers because they have purchased too much, or by retailers who reject food because of exacting aesthetic standards.
