Task 3.1 - Food Wastage
'According to staggering statistics from the United
Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), roughly one-third of the food
produced worldwide for human consumption is lost or wasted, amounting to some
1.3 billion tons per year. In the developing world, over 40 percent of food
losses occur after harvest—while being stored or transported, and during
processing and packing. In industrialized countries, more than 40 percent of
losses occur as a result of retailers and consumers discarding unwanted but often
perfectly edible food...' - Taken from 'Food Waste' article

ReplyDelete1. Economic, Environment, Socio-Cultural-Political
2. Farming Foods - Farming is sustainable because you can eat the food to survive and plant more with seeds from the food.
Economic Growth - Money could pay for healthcare and other important things.
Story Telling - The story remains in memories so they are sustainable.
Recycling - If you recycle old useless things become new useful things so it is sustainable.
Reducing - Reducing using things that harm the environment like cars and plastic will make the world a better place to live.
3. Because although the three types of sustainability seem very different they all end up meaning the same thing.
4. Sustainability is protecting the world and environment so that future generations will have a life as good or better and safer than ours.
Question 1. Economic Aspect, Socio-Cultural-Political, Environmental
ReplyDeleteQuestion 2. Economic: Manages performances with a balanced scorecard of 5 to 10
Keeping an animal alive by sustaining their life
Feeding something to make it grow to be big
Making an even world where everyone can be even to sustain a happy environment
Using bio-degradable materials over plastic waste
Question 3. To show how they are all connected to make a happy world
Question 4. To us sustainable means keeping something going like feeding an animal to make it live or putting petrol in a car to make it run
By Angus Jacob and Antoine

ReplyDeleteQuestion 1: Economic Aspect, Socio-Cultural-Political Aspect and Environmental Aspect.
Question 2: Economic Aspect: Environmental law, Sustainable land use, Industrial development, Fair trade, Resource management.
Socio-Cultural-Political Aspect: Equity and fairness, Cultural prospects, peace education, rights of indigenous culture,
personal or social responsibility for actions.
Environmental Aspect: Climate change, Research/investigation, Independence, Introduce species, Knowledge about environment
Question 3: Because if you do all of these things you will have a sustainable nation.Its also the values and attitude that you need to be sustainable. If you put all of the pieces of the puzzle together you get a sustainable nation.

4:To us sustaiability means to take responsibility for something to sustain it ( keep it alive and healthy.) and is often used in reference to the enviroment. Because that is something we really need to sustain.It also means to take care of something (enviromental love e.t.c) - - Grace Kareina and Kishendri.

ReplyDeletethe people who are throwing the food away
2.
they are throwing away perfectly good food and wasting money.
3
when food is wasted an thrown into landfill it can create leachate with absorbs chemicals witch is bad for earth.
4.
if you dont like something you can give it to a family member who might like it instead of throwing it away.
shay
Question 1.) The people throw away all the food.
ReplyDeleteQuestion 2.) Wasting money and food that could of easily been used.
Question 3.) The earth benefits because when the food is thrown away and gets onto our earth's soils or materials then oils and chemicals can come out of it and help it.
Question 4.) You can use leftovers and find a recipe where you can use all that food to make a meal, or use food that you think has gone off and use it for another meal, e.g: brown bananas are best for banana bread.
Amity and Amanda -Task 3
ReplyDelete1) families and restaurants waste leftovers or foods that are past there use by date even though they are perfectly fine to eat.
2) the consequence are that when the left over food goes into the landfill it eventually goes into the ground and effects our water and air.
3) We couldn't find this on the article but we think that it will effect the homeless and people that eat restaurants and shops old food.
4) Reducing food waste can be done by serving less food at restaurants and making the sizes realistic for the people eating. Also people should make sure they use all the food at home eg; meat for dinner before they go and buy more.
1-families and restaurants are throwing away perfectly fine food.
ReplyDelete2-the consequence is that it effects are land/earth
3-when foods chemicals go into the earth it makes something called leachate. so it will benefit the earth if there was less food waste
4-you only buy enough food for what you will eat and if you buy too much then make food with it/ freeze it eg. because with old bananas it makes nicer banana bread or old milk is better for scones/recipes.
Task 3 Comment
ReplyDeleteA)Nz house Holds waster $563 per yr of food which is 79 kilos = 122,547 tons per year enough to feed 262,917 people
B) The consequences of wasting food leads to releasing chemicals into the air and water increasing pollution
C) Wasting less food helps with landfill and feeding more people
D) To reduce food waste we can only buy enough food to feed us and no more so we don't throw some away
1: Us, whenever there's something wrong with our food even if its only small most of us will throw it away.
ReplyDelete2: Its a huge waste of money, most children don't even get food and we are wasting what they could of had.
3: All of us.
4: Only buy a small amount of food at a time.
Angus Taylor Adam and Heath
ReplyDeleteTask 3
Question 1. The average New Zealand household and then there's the supermarkets which throw out perfectly good food
Question 2. You waste money that could be used to buy more things that you would actually use
Question 3. Mother Nature because the greenhouse gasses destroys the ozone layer then burns the trees then mucks up the food cycle which causes animals to die then us because all the animals that we eat die
Question 4. Eat your food even if it has a bruise, eat smaller portions of food

ReplyDeleteTask Card 3
1.The Human Race From Earth
2.The Food Wastage Will Slowly Arize And Our Food Source Will Slowly Go Away
3.Everyone, Especially The People Who Cant Always Afford Food
4.Increase the time of use by dates. Only Buy what you need. You can also freeze stuff.
TASK 3
ReplyDeleteBilly, Ben and Ryan
a) Most people in wealthier areas
b) If we waste food then we are wasting resources that are used to make food. After a long time we will not have enough resources to survive.
c) Everyone
d) Make unnecessary best before dates longer as some are shorter than what is needed so people chuck food out when it is perfectly fine.
Baxter Cameron and Frankie Task 3
ReplyDeleteQuestion 1 producers Consumers Retailers and the Transporters
Question 2 You lose roughly 593 dollars per year by wasting food,After along time by wasting food there will be less food when the
population, you wast enough to feed 262,917 people or double the population of Dunedin
Question 3 The consumers would win because they would not have to buy food as often if the didn't waste food on the other hand the retailers would lose because they would make less money selling food.
Question 4 Have a conpost bin, Have smaller portions,Feed scraps to animals e:g Pigs sell older or less appealing food for half the price.
Task 3
ReplyDelete1: The people. food manufacturing companies, restaurants and food retail stores.
2: The consequences of wasting food are that it wastes a lot of money, It wastes the environments resources like the water and seeds it takes to grow the food.It also wastes the workers time, energy and effort. It takes land to grow food so when the food is wasted the animals habitat that was destroyed to make a field was all for nothing.
3:lots of bakery's throw out bread after one day because it's not fresh enough, but lots of people who don't have much money would benefit from this food. Also if the food can't be given to humans then lots of animals like pigs would appreciate it.Also waste food can be used for composting, that way it goes back into the earth and the cycle starts all over again.
4: We can make sure we only buy enough food for ourselves and not too much. or we could compost and give extra food to animals.

Task 3.2
ReplyDelete1.Rioting, wars and protesting
2. We will need 50% more food by 2050
3.
a.Science and Tech to make more resources,
b Distribution, to share the food and not waste it
c Local food systems, providing us with food to process and sell
d Innovation, to make new food types to possibly grow faster
4.Because the population is getting more obese so no one wants to do the hard work

ReplyDeleteTask 3.2
Question 1. Riots, Wars, Protesting
Question 2. We'll need 50% more food than we have no by 2050
Question 3.
a. Science and tech to auto farm and produce resources efficiently
b. Distributing food to everyone living in poverty also
c. Plant breeding by using part of the vegetable to even quadruple the amount of vegetables we get
d. Innovating someone to work harder because Africa is producing 20% of what they could produce
Question 4. The population is bigger meaning more obese people meaning more hungry mouths to feed
Task 3.2 - Anna & Laura
ReplyDelete1. Rioted, Toppled the governments, Smashed Markets
2.The food we need will rise by 50% in 2050
3. Science and technology, Distribution, Local food systems, Regulation
Task 3.2
ReplyDeleteRyan, Ben C and Heath
2. Scientists think we will need an additional 50%
3. Science + Tech - Some scientists are saying that using current technology we could improve farming yield by 50% Distribution - We have enough food for everyone but it is being wasted and being distributed poorly so some people aren't getting enough
Local Food Systems - Local farmers can act as a buffer if extra food is needed.
Regulation - Farms shouldn't be able to have so many animals because it can lead to a lot of waste.
Task 3.2 - Kareina and Grace
ReplyDelete1.The victims have Rioted, Smashed markets, and toppled governments.
2. By 2050 we will need 50% more food to feed the earth's population.
3.The 4 strategies we need are 1. To use the available science and tech 2. Better distribution 3. More local food systems 4. Better regulations.
4.It is going to be hard to produce the food we need because energy prices are rising so it is hard for farmers to pay for the energy they need to grow food.And the weather is getting hotter which means that many plants can't grow properly.Also these things happening means that food prices will rise because there won't be much food to go around and the poor people will starve.
