SCIENCE PROJECT - PULSES
SCIENCE PROJECT – PULSES Pulses are seeds like peas, beans, lentils or chickpeas. Scientists are researching on the genomes of pulses to understand genetic diversity and to develop new varieties, in order to achieve a sustainable food production, using water and land more efficiently. The World Day of pulses is on 10th February. Las alumnas de 6ºA hemos realizado un proyecto con legumbres en la asignatura de Science dentro de la Semana Interdisciplinar, ”Hambre Cero”. Hemos trabajado aspectos como la germinación de las semillas, la importancia de los estudios genéticos para crear diferentes variedades de legumbres con mayor resistencia a condiciones climatológicas adversas, la relevancia de las legumbres como alimento sostenible capaz de acabar con el hambre en el mundo, y el enorme aporte nutricional que contienen.
SCIENCE REPORT: ZERO HUNGER
ZERO HUNGER FOOD WASTE & FOOD LOSS Food wastage is a big problem in the world. Food wastage is the conbination of food waste and food loss. Food waste refers to food that is discarded or lost at the retail or consumption phases. Food loss occurs before food reaches the consumer as a result of issues in the production, storage, processing and distribution phases. Each year, an estimated one-third of all foood produced for human consumption is lost or wasted worldwide. In a world where we produce enough food to feed everyone, 821million people, one in nine people still go to bed on an empty stomach every night. Both food waste and food loss has a devastating effect not only on consumers and producers by increasing items prices but also depletes the environment of limited natural resources. The most wasted food items in the world are potatoes, fresh vegetables, meat bread and milk. When we buy products that are not local we are contributing to food loss. STOP FOOD W...
