Ambiente e alimentazione, le profezie di Brown

di

alimentazione Mobilitiamoci per evitare il collasso del sistema alimentare. E’ questo in sostanza il messaggio lanciato da Lester Brown nel suo ultimo libro “9 miliardi di posti a tavola”. L’autore, presidente dell’Earth Policy Institute, spiega con dati alla mano come il Sistema Terra che “nei secoli recenti ha sostenuto il benessere umano e la nostra civilizzazione, è a rischio” perché “avremo sempre più difficoltà ad affrontare le minacce alle risorse critiche dell’acqua, dell’alimentazione e della biodiversità”.

Le minacce a cui si riferisce Brown sono quelle definite da quasi 3.000 scienziati, esperti e studiosi nella recente conferenza di Londra

Tali minacce rischiano di intensificare le crisi economiche, ecologiche e sociali, creando il potenziale per un’emergenza umanitaria su scala globale.

Nell’introduzione al libro, il direttore scientifico di Wwf Italia Gianfranco Bologna, appronfondisce il tema della “sfida del cibo” ossia come “imparare a vivere nei limiti di un solo Pianeta”. Era il 1974 quando si svolse la prima conferenza mondiale sull’alimentazione e già si preannunciava quello che poi, realmente, è avvenuto: il cibo non solo non sarebbe stato sufficiente per una popolazione sempre più numerosa, ma avrebbe implicato notevoli “problematiche ambientali planetarie”. Lester Brown da allora si esprimeva a sostegno di una politica internazionale attenta alla situazione alimentazione. Il suo modo di concepire il problema prendeva in esame, in maniera molto attuale, le problematiche legate all’agricoltura, alla crescita demografica e anche all’incremento solo in alcuni Paesi del mondo, dei consumi alimentari che avrebbero causato da un lato il miglioramento della situazione economica di tali popolazioni, ma dall’altro il deterioramento ambientale, la deforestazione, la desertificazione, la scarsità idrica, i cambiamenti climatici. Prima ancora che questi concetti divenissero problemi. Nel suo ultimo libro ripercorre le tappe delle sue esperienze e traccia un preciso quadro attuale su come il sovrasfruttamento delle risorse sta uccidendo il Pianeta e su come il divario tra mancanza di cibo e sprechi alimentari sia ancora più netto tra Nord e Sud.

  2. Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

  30. Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

    Rispondi

  31. The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
