Hallo iedereen/hello everyone
Sustainable food (just like all issues) starts with ourselves but on our own we can't get the maximum out of sustainable food. Therefore we need to go all the way to its source: the farmes. I think in the future sustainable food will be very important and much needed and I think there are a lot of possibilities to make our food more sustainable by making changes to the way it's produced.
First of all lets start with our local (crop) farmland. The export of food emits a lot of carbon dioxide (which is obviously very bad) so if we maximize our local farmland we are going to need less or even no food from far export. Also our local farmers aren't sustainable enough already.
So: we need to make changes so we can get the maximum food and sustainability out of our farmland. think about for example:
- - getting more crops out of small space
- - get enough energy/water/(fertilizers) in a sustainable way
- - crop diversity
- - using different crops according to the season
- ...
=> i'm going to do my project about how we can increase the sustainability on our local farmland. There are so much examples of how me can increase sustainable farmland so i'm going to reduce my project to only a couple of examples.
