What contaminates producing food and 'Let mathematics be with you'

11/06/2018

Glossary:

The impact of food production on the environment is reflected in its carbon footprint. Clara Grima presents a book about mathematics present in everyday activities.

Summary: 

A research carried out by the University of Navarra shows that following a Mediterranean diet is very good for our health, and also for the environment. Consuming Mediterranean foods produces fewer problematic emissions for the ozone layer. The way in which food is produced, processed, distributed and consumed has consequences for ecosystems. Recently the University of Oxford and the Swiss Institute of Agricultural Research have conducted the most comprehensive study to date on the environmental impact of food production. where it shows how apparently identical products, located in the same supermarket location, actually have very different environmental impacts. 

Personal opinion: 

In my opinion it is completely true that the consumption of Mediterranean foods is positive for our health and for the environment, and I think it is a very good thing since I am a person who consumes many foods of the Mediterranean diet.
