Question

What is the cultural dynamic between our food consumption tastes and the environmental damage that results from our consumption patterns

Answer 1

The world is consuming food at a much higher rate than it is able to produce. With increasing population and its increasing consumption habits its taking a toll on the Environment. And soon we will reach a point where there would not be any sustainable natural methods to produce food. There has been an increase in soil erosion and the agricultural sector has seen a fall in productivity. With an increase in carbon footprints the levels of global warming are very high. And our consumption habits like consuming high levels of meat affects the herbivores animals and destroys the food chain and the meat industry is also the biggest emitter of green house gases. The package food consumption increases the use of plastic and households are said to be the biggest polluters of any country. So with our changing consumption patterns the Environment is severely affected and we need to take actions sooner than later.
