As per a news article on BBC, it has long been suggested that we should start eating insects to help the environment, but for many of us it is not a palatable thought. One Israeli firm is hoping to win over the squeamish by adding different flavourings. Dror Tamir opens a packet of brown, jellied sweets. "Try one," says the boss of food tech firm Hargol. The little gummies are packed with protein, but not from soy or gelatine. They are instead made from an edible, jumping insect - locusts, which are a type [...]

This is why we need GWh and TWh Storage

19 September 2021 admin 0

At least four of the smaller UK energy companies are expected to go bust next week amid soaring wholesale gas prices. In a recent article published on BBC, it has been revealed that four firms have asked larger players to bid to take over the supply to one million customers. The price rise has left some companies unable to provide their customers with the energy they have paid for. Industry rules mean supplies will continue for affected customers, and they will not lose money owed to them. The new company is also responsible for taking on any credit balances the customer may have. [...]

Emissions from food alone could use up all of our budget for 1.5°C or 2°C – but we have a range of opportunities to avoid this

Our World in Data presents the data and research to make progress against the world’s largest problems.This blog post draws on data and research discussed in our entry on Environmental impacts of food production. In an article published by Hannah Ritchie on Our World in Data, it has been stated that to address global climate change we need to rapidly reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. This often raises debate of where our attention should be: do we focus on energy or food; fossil fuels or meat? But this is a false dichotomy. If we don’t achieve large changes to both, then we [...]

Is Aquaculture sustainable? – Australian Marine Conservation Society

19 August 2021 admin 0

Aquaculture or rather, fish farming, attracts considerable controversy. Some say it’s the most environmentally efficient food system we’ve got. Others say farmed fish are toxic, fed waste products and are polluting our precious oceans. The reality is that all of these things can be true. Let’s discuss. In terms of broad environmental impact, aquaculture has the potential to grow food more efficiently than most forms of animal agriculture as it can be done with substantially less reliance on natural resources. In the past we have made a lot of environmental mistakes on land and as we increase our focus on fish [...]
