Barilla The Center for Food and Nutrition on the issue of climate change and food and environmental challenges of the coming decades has recently published a guidance paper which addresses in particular the link between global warming and food industries.
The document reveals a inadeguata consapevolezza della sfida che i cambiamenti climatici rappresentano e delle implicazioni che comporta, sia da parte degli operatori nazionali che internazionali, sia dei consumatori di prodotti agroalimentari.
Per arrivare ad una consapevolezza condivisa a tutti i livelli sono 6 le raccomandazioni contenute nel report.
1. PROMUOVERE E DIFFONDERE L’IMPIEGO DI INDICATORI DI IMPATTO AMBIENTALE OGGETTIVI, SEMPLICI E COMUNICABILI
Si fa riferimento a tutte le attività individuali, sociali ed economiche, per promuovere una crescente consapevolezza degli impatti sull’ecosistema e favorire l’emergere di comportamenti virtuosi.
2. INCORAGGIARE POLITICHE ECONOMICHE E SISTEMI DI INCENTIVI / DISINCENTIVI EQUI ED EFFICACI
A fronte di un’ampia condivisione del principio a livello teorico, la ricerca di soluzioni condivise e accettate appare – come è ovvio – più difficile. Oggi il dibattito registra posizioni diverse relativamente a temi quali: l’efficacia del mercato dei certificati di scambio delle emissioni di anidride carbonica; l’uso della leva fiscale; l’introduzione di incentivi verso l’acquisto di beni e servizi a maggiore sostenibilità ambientale.
3. RI-LOCALIZZARE LE COLTURE, RIDURRE L’INCIDENZA DELL’ALLEVAMENTO, FOREST PRESERVE THE HERITAGE
should take note of the likely effects of climate change, both in terms of impacts on agricultural productivity (depletion of some geographical areas), and prevention strategies indispensable today (the reduction of environmental animal husbandry activities) in order to actively manage the processes in place and absorb the inevitable economic impacts and social .
4. Promote technological innovation and promoting ecologically sustainable farming (BEST PRACTICE)
this regard, the IPCC has produced guidelines to collect a high level of scientific consensus, and that can be effectively implemented. Moreover, we can not respond to a challenge such as climate change with the tools of the past: we must invest in technological innovation and transfer of knowledge from research that businesses.
5. PROMOTING POLICIES FOR TRANSPARENT COMMUNICATION (UP TO GREEN LABELLING)
is to promote a more transparent communication in relation to the environmental impact of products throughout their life cycle. Correct information to consumers and different economic actors along the supply chain is the prerequisite for the adoption of more responsible consumption patterns in terms of use of natural resources by the citizens.
6. PROMOTING ECO-SUSTAINABLE LIFESTYLES AND FOOD
On this side of several issues deserve to be mentioned: the excess meat consumption worldwide (in the light of the Ecological Footprint associated with livestock activities), the need to rethink the system transport of agricultural products to encourage increased consumption of proximity, where possible, to a more consumption-oriented than seasonal cycles.
