A big concern in environmental sustainability is
food. We have not cared for our food production and how food is discarded as
food loss and waste. All of this is related to the fertilizer, water and land
which people need in order to grow our entire crop. If there is a decreasing in
food loss and waste the opportunity to secure our food will be totally
successful. It is very important to reduce food loss and waste. Agriculture in some cases has been not
sustainable, and has been studied that is the major contributor of
environmental degradation. Food security needs people that care about economic
access in order to please the necessities for food. Environmental
sustainability provokes in long term the result of global transitions such as
an increase in population, change in food chain and the climate change. Grand
Challenge is a food security that is growing thanks to the urgent challenge
among the community, but especially recognizes the sustainability and
environmental aspect. The different paradigm of Grand Challenge in the equality
of growing food supplies and the environmental impact has been an issue.
