Global Food Waste in 2025

Why are Modular Kitchens a Sustainable Choice for Food Providers?

How can factory-built modular kitchens help hotels, resorts, and restaurateurs improve and reduce their carbon emissions and promote sustainability?

Why are Modular Kitchens a sustainable choice for food providers?

Is modular construction the future of buildings?

Subscribe here: http://freeth.ink/youtube-subscribe-m...

We live in a world surrounded by homes, shopping centers, and office buildings built to withstand the test of time, but there’s a problem with this focus on permanence. 

In our dynamic and ever-changing world, permanent structures often end up generating massive amounts of waste, whether through demolition or abandonment. In fact, global construction waste is expected to reach over two-billion tons per year by 2025. 

That’s why modular construction, a building technique that dates back to the 1800s, is starting to pick up steam once again. The modular construction process involves transporting multiple prefabricated buildings which are connected on-site to form a complete structure. 

It’s like LEGOs on steroids, using cranes for assembly rather than your fingertips. Because of the ease with which modular buildings can be disassembled and transported elsewhere for reuse, they could lead to exponential increases in efficiency and sustainability.

Climate Smart Farming: All You Need to Know in 2025

What is Climate Smart Farming, and how can it help to fight against climate change?

More than a billion farmers and their families around the world are on the front line of climate change. Their lives and livelihoods are directly affected by its impacts, and they are also vital to implementing many of the solutions we need to help prevent it. 

“Climate-smart agriculture” describes agricultural practices which contribute to increasing farm productivity and incomes, building greater resilience, and minimising agriculture’s greenhouse gas emissions – all in an equitable and sustainable manner.

Explore 28 case studies of climate-smart agriculture in action around the world at: www.farmingfirst.org/climate-smart-agriculture

Climate-Smart Agriculture in Action

http://www.worldbank.org/climatechange - To feed nine billion people by 2050, global food production needs to increase by 70 percent. Farmers in Africa, and across the world, are using Climate-Smart Agriculture practices to combat the impacts of Climate Change on crop production.

What is the Avocado's Environmental Impact?

Avocados are delicious and wildly popular, but do avocados have a negative impact on the environment that should make us think twice?

The internet found a new villain of the week: Australian luxury property mogul Tim Gurner.

Tim had the gall to imply that millennials’ spending habits — comprising of “smashed avocados for 19 bucks and four coffees at four dollars each” —was the reason they couldn’t break into the Australian house market, which has in recent years outpaced salary growth.

It’s only the latest volley in the battle between millionaires and millennials, and one in which avocados have becoming an unwitting proxy for the spendthrift ways of the youth.

Avocado Rise: The Documentary

The avocado is a new superfood and its cultivation has been increasing worldwide, including in southern Portugal. But avocado plantations suck up the water in the already drought-stricken country. Local residents and small farmers are fighting back.

Matthew Ambrose had imagined his ninth summer running a vacation quinta in Portugal quite differently. For decades, Matthew ran bars and discos in the UK. Now he wants to live a quieter life in a small guesthouse surrounded by a green garden, with his donkey, a pony and two dogs. But he fears that his only well will run dry and his land will become barren. Noisy excavators surround his property. A large Portuguese fruit-growing company is tearing up cork oak and prickly pear trees and laying water pipes to create a 50-hectare avocado plantation. Three deep wells have already been sunk - even though, as Matthew points out, locals are strictly forbidden from drilling new wells after many years of low rainfall and forest fires. But the company got permits from the Portuguese authorities. Matthew frets that the company will intensively operate the plantation for ten or 20 years, causing the water table to drop and wells in the area to dry up and leaving the soil depleted and without nutrients. Despite this, the authorities are approving increasingly larger plantations, which are also promoted by the EU. This report talks to avocado farmers, local residents and citizens' groups and asks: Are Portugal's avocados like "green gold” - or just a short-term money-spinner with expensive long-term consequences?

Portugal's avocados: Green gold or ecological nightmare? | DW Documentary
