37、tions’mid-range projection for global population is about 9.5 billion. This means that there could be an extra three billion mouths to feed by the end of the century, a period in which substantial changes are anticipated in the wealth, calorie intake and dietary preferences of people in developing c

38、ountries across the world. Such a projection presents mankind with wide-ranging social, economic, environmental and political issues that need to be addressed today to ensure a sustainable future for all. One key issue is how to produce more food in a world of finite resources. B）Today, we produce

39、about four billion metric tons of food per year. Yet due to poor practices in harvesting, storage and transportation, as well as market and consumer wastage, it is estimated that 30-50% of all food produced never reaches a human stomach. Furthermore, this figure does not reflect the fact that large

40、amounts of land, energy, fertilisers and water have also been lost in the production of foodstuffs which simply end up as waste. This level of wastage is a tragedy that cannot continue if we are to succeed in the challenge of sustainably meeting our future food demands. Where Food Waste Happens C

41、）In 2010, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers identified three principal emergingpopulation groups across the world, based on characteristics associated with their current and projected stage of economic development. ? Fully developed, mature, post-industrial societies, such as those in Europe,

42、 characterised by stable or declining populations which are increasing in age. ? Late-stage developing nations that are currently industrialising rapidly, for example China, which will experience declining rates of population growth, coupled with increasing affluence (富裕)and age profile. ? Newly d

43、eveloping countries that are beginning to industrialise, primarily in Africa, with high to very high population growth rates, and characterised by a predominantly young age profile. D）Each group over the coming decades will need to address different issues surrounding food production, storage and t

44、ransportation, as well as consumer expectations, if we are to continue to feed all our people. E）In less-developed countries, such as those of sub-Saharan Africa and South-East Asia, wastage tends to occur primarily at the farmer-producer end of the supply chain. Inefficient harvesting, inadequate

45、local transportation and poor infrastructure(基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施)mean that produce is frequently handled inappropriately and stored under unsuitable farm site conditions. F）In mature, fully developed countries such as the UK, more-efficient farming practices and better transport, storage and processing faciliti

46、es ensure that a larger proportion of the food produced reaches markets and consumers. However, characteristics associated with modern consumer culture mean produce is often wasted through retail and customer behaviour. G）Major supermarkets, in meeting consumer expectations, will often reject entir

47、e crops of perfectly edible fruit and vegetables at the farm because they do not meet exacting marketing standards for their physical characteristics, such as size and appearance. H）Of the produce that does appear in the supermarket, commonly used sales promotions frequently encourage customers to

48、purchase excessive quantities which, in the case of perishable foodstuffs, inevitably generate wastage in the home. Overall between 30% and 50% of what has been bought in developed countries is thrown away by the purchaser. Better Use of Our Finite Resources I）Wasting food means losing not only li

49、fe-supporting nutrition but also precious resources, including land, water and energy. As a global society, therefore, tackling food waste will help contribute towards addressing a number of key resource issues. J）Land Usage:Over the last five decades, improved farming techniques and technologies

50、 have helped to significantly increase crop yields along with a 12% expansion of farmed land use. However, a further increase in farming area without impacting unfavourably on what remains of the world’s natural ecosystems appears unlikely. The challenge is that an increase in animal-based productio

51、n will require more land and resources, as livestock (牲畜)farming demands extensive land use. K）Water Usage:Over the past century, human use of fresh water has increased at more than double the rate of population growth. Currently about 3.8 trillion m3of water is used by humans per year. About 70% o

52、f this is consumed by the global agriculture sector, and the level of use will continue to rise over the coming decades. L）Better irrigation can dramatically improve crop yield and about 40% of the world’s food supply is currently derived from irrigated land. However, water used in irrigation is of

53、ten sourcedunsustainably.In processing foods after the agricultural stage, there are large additional uses of water that need to be tackled in a world of growing demand. This is particularly crucial inthe case of meat production, where beef uses about 50 times more water than vegetables. In the futu

54、re, more effective washing techniques, management procedures, and recycling and purification of water will be needed to reduce wastage. M）Energy Usage: Energy is an essential resource across the entire food production cycle, with estimates showing an average of 7-10 calories of input being required

55、 in the production of one calorie of food. This varies dramatically depending on crop, from three calories for plant crops to 35 calories in the production of beef. Since much of this energy comes from the utilisation of fossil fuels, wastage of food potentially contributes to unnecessary global war

56、ming as well as inefficient resource utilisation. N）In the modem industrialised agricultural process—which developing nations are movingtowards in order to increase future yields—energy usage in the making and application of fertilisersand pesticides represents the single biggest component. Wheat

57、production takes 50% of its energy input for these two items alone. Indeed, on a global scale, fertilisermanufacturing consumes about 3-5% of the world’s annual natural gas supply. With production anticipated to increase by 25% between now and 2030, sustainable energy sourcing will become an increas

58、ingly major issue. Energy to power machinery, both on the farm and in the storage and processing facilities, adds to the energy total, which currently represents about 3.1% of annual global energy consumption. Recommendations O）Rising population combined with improved nutrition standards and shift

59、ing dietary preferences will exert pressure for increases in global food supply. Engineers, scientists and agriculturalists have the knowledge, tools and systems that will assist in achieving productivity increases. However, pressure will grow on finite resources of land, energy and water. The poten

60、tial to provide 60-100% more food by simply eliminating losses, while simultaneously freeing up land, energy and water resources for other uses, is an opportunity that should not be ignored. In order to begin tackling the challenge, the Institution recommends that: ?The UN Food and Agriculture Orga

61、nisation work with the international engineering community to ensure governments of developed nations put in place programmes that transferengineering knowledge, design know-how, and suitable technology to newly developing countries. This will help improve produce handling in the harvest, and immedi

62、ate post-harvest stages of food production. ? Governments of rapidly developing countries incorporate waste minimisation thinking into the transport infrastructure and storage facilities currently being planned, engineered and built. ? Governments in developed nations devise and implement policy t

63、hat changes consumer expectations. These should discourage retailers from wasteful practices that lead to the rejection of food on the basis of cosmetic characteristics, and losses in the home due to excessive purchasing by consumers. 注意：此部分試題請(qǐng)?jiān)诖痤}卡2上作答。 46. Elimination of waste alone can potential

64、ly provide over sixty percent more food for the growing world population. 47. The production and application of fertilisers and pesticides account for the largest part of energy use in the modernindustrialised agricultural process. 48. Consumers in developed countries throw away nearly half of the

65、ir food purchases because they tend to buy in excessive quantities. 49. It is recommended that engineering knowledge and suitable technology in developed countries be introduced to developing countries to improve produce handling in the harvest. 50. The predicted global population growth means tha

66、t ways have to be found to produce more food with finite resources. 51. A further expansion of farming area will adversely impact on the world’s natural ecosystems. 52. Perfectly eatable fruit and vegetable crops often fail to reach supermarkets due to their size or physical appearance. 53. Poor practices in harvesting, storage and transportation have resulted in a waste of much of the food we produce and thus a waste of land and resources. 54. Food waste in less-developed countries happens
