“Eating is an agricultural act therefore it is also an ecological act” Production, processing, distribution, consumption and waste of food impact the environment to a great level. Our eating habits impact the climate change more than any other thing. Production of meat and meat products accounts for 18 percentage of total greenhouse gas emission. Each step in food processing chain has direct or indirect impact on the environment. Food processing can also lead to loss of valuable biomass and nutrients. Food processing requires water and energy whereas it’s outputs are waste water, solid water and atmospheric pollution. Agriculture also requires 86% of fresh water. These are extremely harmful for the environment. waste treatment of these food processing issues requires a lot of research in India as well as globally. Bringing certain changes in the Daily fooding habits can ensure that no further environmental degradation takes place. The food you eat affects the well being of your body as well as the environment around you. This environment can include from anything starting from your home to your workplace to entire country. Use of organic food is one such way to reduce degradation of environment. Constant consumption of processed food also leads to excess waste in the environment. Reducing its use is beneficial for individuals as well as environment. Consuming less meat and eating seasonal food is Avery healthy way of life. Individuals should do a go through a life cycle assessment. |

Hey Chitwan!
This is your mentor Lisa.
I think you are making a very good point here that everything we eat is connected as the big food chain which leads us all the way back to nature.
Hence, it's important to know and be aware of what we eat, how we eat them as in how we cook them and how they come to us in the first place.
When I talk about this topic, this old song always comes up to my mind you must be familiar with the song as well. The title of the song is 'Circle of the Life' the very music of the worldwide popular movie Lion King.
Great report you've got here!
Nice work!

Hello Chitwan
Your report well describes the relationship between food system and the environment. I think the most important aspect of this issue is that not many people are well aware of the importance of their daily food choices and how they form their tables. If people get to know about the impact of their daily actions and get the chance to think about it, I'm sure there would be much improvements in people's choices of foods.
Thank you for the great report.
