FOOD MILES

Recent years have seen not only an increased interest in the freshness of what we eat but also where the food was actually grown. The term ‘food miles’ was invented as a way of measuring the distance a food has been transported until it reaches the dining table. For example, a shopper in London may be prepared to pay a relatively high price for Japanese prawns that have been caught and flown over on the same morning. However, this badly damages the environment because the plane and the lorry which have delivered the prawns have polluted the environment. Research that has been carried out by environmental groups has found that the environmental cost of food transport is more than 15 million euros a year. Although food miles make up only one part of the total cost of food production, they should be taken into consideration in any discussion on the future of the world in which we live.

В последние годы возрос интерес не только к свежести продуктов, которые мы едим, но и к тому, где они были выращены. Термин «продуктовые мили» был придуман как способ измерения расстояния, которое продукт преодолел, прежде чем попасть на обеденный стол. Например, покупатель в Лондоне может согласиться заплатить довольно высокую цену за японских креветок, пойманных и доставленных самолётом в то же утро. Однако это сильно вредит окружающей среде, потому что самолёт и грузовик, доставившие креветок, загрязнили её. Исследование, проведённое экологическими организациями, показало, что экологическая цена транспортировки продуктов превышает 15 миллионов евро в год. Хотя продуктовые мили составляют лишь часть общей стоимости производства продуктов, их следует учитывать при обсуждении будущего мира, в котором мы живём.
