Food and Beverages Sustainability
Concept
According to the Worldwatch Institute(2009) the major problem in the global food production system is in the unsustainable inputs that are sued.
As a result, many forms of environmental degradation occur; falling water tables, deterioration of pasture, soil erosion.
The Western diet, with its high consumption of fish, meat and dairy products is endangering the environment; croplands are diminishing and the ocean’s fish stocks are in decline.
These grim warning signs are matched with some positive signs of awareness in society for health, environmental stewardship and animal welfare.
As a response to the problems being caused by conventional farming techniques the term sustainable food is now used to describe food production that does not take more natural resources than it gives back.
Sustainable food producers see nature as an ally rather than as an obstacle, they are able to produce wholesome food in symbiosis with nature and the surrounding community.
Uk government Sustainable Development Commission, Sustainable food is:
Safe, healthy and nutritious, for consumers in shops, restaurants, schools, hospitals, etc. And can meet the needs of the less well-off people.
Provides a viable livelihood for farmers, processors and retailers, whose employees enjoy a safe and hygienic working environment whether in the United Kingdom or overseas.
Respects biophysical and environmental limits in its production and processing, while reducing energy consumption and improving the wider environment; it also respects the highest standards of animal health and welfare, compatible with the production of affordable food for all sectors of society.
Supports rural economies and the diversity of rural culture, in particular through an emphasis on local products that keep food miles to a minimum.
The term sustainable food may not sound exciting as a description but catering businesses who develop processes to improve the sustainability of the food they offer stand a better chance of meeting the growing demands of individual consumers.
Once the domain of students and hippies the movement has moved into mainstream society and is represented by some very prominent industry players
example
Starbucks, has started selling four categories of what it calls “sustainable coffees”.
The nature of sustainable food often means that they are more expensive than other types of food.
Inevitably, there is a danger that restaurant operations seeking to provide clients with sustainable food choices may increase prices.
There is limited evidence that individual restaurant consumers are prepared to both purchase and pay a premium for sustainable food products.
Consumer attitudes toward sustainable food
Although consumer awareness of sustainability is growing, it is not yet making a huge difference to what customers choose to buy when they shop for food or sit down to eat in a restaurant.

Presentation on “Keep momentum to achieve the 2030 agenda”, delivered on the occasion of the World Aquaculture Society Conference, held in Montpelier, France on 26 July 2018
Food and agriculture are vital to achieving the SDGs. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), is leading international efforts to eradicate world hunger and build fairer societies.
WorldFish, an international nonprofit research organization, harnesses the potential of fisheries and aquaculture to reduce poverty and hunger. WorldFish is one of the 15 member organizations of CGIAR, a global agriculture research partnership for a food secure future.
a sustainable actions for a better world. this presentation may anchor on sustainability through our actions so that we can call that the Earth is a better place to live on.
As part of the Paris Climate Agreement goal of limiting global warming to 2oC, annual emissions reductions from agriculture must reach 1 gigatonne of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCO2e/yr) by 2030. Plausible options to do this only deliver 21–40% of this target. Agricultural systems are witnessing ambitious goals and require transformative actions. Across food systems actions include: application of next generation technologies, increasing investment flows and improving returns, change in pattern of landholdings, enhancing capacities through skill development and capacity building, and via changes in the distribution and dynamics of the population and labour force. This transformation would generate multitude of benefits such as education, nutrition, health, water, sanitation, and empowerment of women and youth, and transforming rural livelihoods and indigenous communities.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

2. Aquatic foods must
occupy a central place
in the global agricultural
research agenda, which
has traditionally focused
on land-based crops
and livestock.
This task is critical to ensure
a full representation of the
food system, address the
complex links among food,
land and water systems,
and unlock an ocean of
opportunities in an emerging
blue economy that must
prioritize social inclusion and
equity.
