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

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



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?
