(Thematic Report): Foods, Are they an Environmental issues?

by Nishan kc | 31-12-2019 00:41 recommendations 0

As, the importance of food to the organism are unexplainable. It sustain the growth and vital processes of an organisms.  On the other hand, Environment carries the same importance as that of Food. Hence, in generally speaking, they are attach to each other and one can't be used carelessly leaving another worsen. But, this sense are not applied now in the present world! Both the conditions (Food and Environment) are in pathetic situations.


In this report, I am connecting the Food with Environment and relates its issues in a glimpse.


Increasing food demands worldwide to sustain the increasing population, there are several causes that brings up many Environmental issues and some of them are:-


1) Pesticides and Fertilizers:

Though they are benefited to increase the agricultural productions but on the other hand they have countless effects on Environment.  Some of the effects are:-

a) Degrade the quality of soil by Unbalancing the PH of the soil.

b) Pollute the water sources that ultimately hamper the life of aquatic organisms & Contaminate of drinking water.

c) Climate changes risk because fertilizers and pesticides emits nitrogen, methane, carbon-dioxide and ammonia to the environment.


2) Waste:

We can't imagine the amount of waste collected from unused food materials from each household's kitchen. They are the garbage which are dumped into the environment that consequence many effects in it. Some may be recycle but what about the garbage that doesn't recycle? Surely, it brings pollution!


These above effects are only some of them from many countless.  Henceforth, this is the right time of action to mitigate all these above effects.


We are living in the environment so, we have full ethics to respect the environment for the sustainable uses. Isn't it?

    Hey Nishan!
    This is Lisa your mentor.

    Many people are likely to think about only what we are eating when it comes to discussing food and environment together but I think you are making a very important point here as to how those food come to our table in the first place how they are produced, how they travel to get to us and more. These are definitely some of the things that we cannot neglect for they do cause some major environmental harms as well.

    Thank you for sharing your view and I enjoyed reading your report!
    Good work :)

    Hello Nishan

    I could learn about some causes of environmental pollution in the process related to food. In using pesticides and fertilizers, long term effects should be considered. And about the food wastes, this issue can be sufficiently controlled by little awareness of the normal households.
    I hope these two issues are resolved in effective ways and the pollution caused by food is decreased in 2020.

    Thank you for the great report.
