FOOD TECHNOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -As transportation increases, carbon dioxide emissions also go up, leading to a rise in global warming. The transportation of food is about 12 per cent of the carbon cost of the food we eat. According to research, foods with lesser food miles are better for human health as well as the environment.

Detailed explanation-2: -Food miles are the distances that your food travels from where it is grown to where it is consumed. They are used as a measure of the environmental impact of food production, along with factors such as transportation and greenhouse gas emissions.

Detailed explanation-3: -The production of the food we eat is responsible for more than a third of global greenhouse gas emissions, so reducing food-related emissions is crucial to limiting further global heating.
