FOOD MILES
Recent years have seen not only an increased interest
the freshness of what we eat but also
where the food was actually grown. The term 'food miles' was
invented as a way (2)
measuring the distance
a food has (3)
transported until it reaches the
dining table. For example, a shopper in London may
prepared to pay a relatively high price for
Japanese prawns that have been caught and flown over on the
same morning. However, this badly damages the environment
because the plane and the lorry (5)
have
delivered the prawns have polluted the environment. Research
that has been carried out (6)
environmental
groups has found that the environmental cost of food transport
is more (7)
15 million euros a year. Although
food miles make up only one part of the total cost of food
production, they should be taken (8)
consideration in any discussion on the future of the world in
which we live.​
