Food waste key in emissions cuts
2016-04-07 15:47:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: Reducing food waste and changing the way people consume calories will help deliver a sustainable food system and reduce emissions, a study suggests. The global demand for food could more than double by the middle of the century, yet an estimated one third of produce is lost or wasted each year. By cutting this waste will help food security and reducing agriculture's climate burden, the researchers added. The findings appear in the journal Environmental Science & Technology. As the global...
To help curb climate change, stop wasting food - scientists

Reuters: Reducing food waste around the world would help curb emissions of planet-warming gases, lessening some of the impacts of climate change such as more extreme weather and rising seas, scientists said on Thursday. Up to 14 percent of emissions from agriculture in 2050 could be avoided by managing food use and distribution better, according to a new study from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). "Agriculture is a major driver of climate change, accounting for more than 20 percent...

Climate Change Causes Havoc in Seasons and Food Production
2016-04-07 11:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: The consequences of global warming are quite evident this year as winter disappeared early and summer kicked in earlier than usual in a number of countries. The European summer began ten days earlier this April than four decades ago. This climatic shift has occurred between the 1960s and 2000s. The seasonal clock is now a chaos and there is a possibility of summer to begin 20 days earlier by the end of this century. Researchers said this climatic change is happening due to increasing carbon...

Indigo, ex-Lululemon CEOs take aim at sugar, call for transparent food labelling

Luvo frozen dinners are pictured in a freezer at a Loblaws in Ottawa on Wednesday, April 6, 2016. Two Canadian business leaders want the country's food industry to use more transparent labels so Canadians know just how much nutrionally sparse food they're eating.
NASA examines El Nino's impact on ocean's food source

ScienceDaily: El Nino years can have a big impact on the littlest plants in the ocean, and NASA scientists are studying the relationship between the two. In El Nino years, huge masses of warm water -- equivalent to about half of the volume of the Mediterranean Sea -- slosh east across the Pacific Ocean towards South America. While this warm water changes storm systems in the atmosphere, it also has an impact below the ocean's surface. These impacts, which researchers can visualize with satellite data, can ripple...
