Incorporating these measurements into their assessments, scientists reached surprising conclusions. Most notably, they found that lamb raised on New Zealand’s clover-choked pastures and shipped 11,000 miles by boat to Britain produced 1,520 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions per ton while British lamb produced 6,280 pounds of carbon dioxide per ton, in part because poorer British pastures force farmers to use feed.
\nIn other words, it is four times more energy-efficient for Londoners to buy lamb imported from the other side of the world than to buy it from a producer in their backyard. Similar figures were found for dairy products and fruit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…wouldn’t it make more sense to stop obsessing over food miles and work to strengthen comparative geographical advantages? And what if we did this while streamlining transportation services according to fuel-efficient standards? Shouldn’t we create development incentives for regional nodes of food production that can provide sustainable produce for the less sustainable parts of the nation and the world as a whole?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Jetzt freu ich mich erst mal auf die Zwetschgen vom Baum vor Elterns Garten, die etwa n\u00e4chstes Wochenende reif sein m\u00fcssten. Solche Gemeinschaftsobstb\u00e4ume, wie ich sie aus meiner Kindheit vor allem an Landstra\u00dfen kenne, m\u00fcssten doch eigentlich zum nachhaltigsten Anbau \u00fcberhaupt geh\u00f6ren: Keiner d\u00fcngt, keiner spritzt, die B\u00e4ume spenden Schatten und werden im Grunde nur beachtet, wenn ihre Fr\u00fcchte erntereif sind (oder ein Diskoheimfahrer dagegenknallt). Dann radelt man hin, holt sich Kirschen, Zwetschgen, \u00c4pfel, Birnen, so viel man will, und gut ist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
