WASTE: UNCOVERING THE GLOBAL FOOD SCANDAL
Book ID/图书代码： 03635008B30266
English Summary/英文概要： With shortages, volatile prices and nearly one billion people hungry, the world has a food problem – or thinks it does. Farmers, manufacturers, supermarkets and consumers in North America and Europe discard up to half of their food – enough to feed all the world’s hungry at least three times over. Forests are destroyed and nearly one tenth of the West’s greenhouse gas emissions are released growing food that will never be eaten. While affluent nations throw away food through neglect, in the developing world crops rot because farmers lack the means to process, store and transport them to market.
But there could be surprisingly painless remedies for what has become one of the world’s most pressing environmental and social problems. Travelling from Yorkshire to China, from Pakistan to Japan, and introducing us to foraging pigs, potato farmers, freegans and food industry directors, Stuart encounters grotesque examples of profligacy, but also inspiring innovations and ways of making the most of what we have.
Combining front-line investigation with startling new data, Waste shows how the way we live now has created a global food crisis – and what we can do to fix it.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 短缺，价格波动，将近有10亿人挨饿，这个世界好像真的有食物危机了。北美欧洲的农民，制造商，超级市场和消费者削减了他们一半的食物，而这一半却足够养活整个世界饥饿人民。森林被砍伐，将近有十分之一欧洲的温室气体是从不会被消费的食物而来。当富足国家不以为然地把食物丢弃，发展中国家却面临着粮食腐烂，因为农民缺少食物生产、存储、运输到市场的途径。
但是一定有一个超级简单的办法来根治我们目前紧急的环境和社会问题。斯图亚特人带领我们从约克郡到中国，从巴基斯坦到日本，介绍我们搜寻猪仔，土豆农，后现代环保主义者，食品工业指导者，向我们展示了季度挥霍的例子和环保的绝妙方法。
将前线调查和新数据结合，浪费向我们展现了我们的生活方式是怎样引起全球食物危机，但是也提供了解决办法。(ZSW)
