Chicken farms and the reality of food production in Britain | Letters

Richard Griffiths and Will Raw respond to an article by George Monbiot in which he argues that industrial poultry farming is killing our rivers George Monbiot is wrong in his belief that chicken farms harm rivers (Besieged by lobbyists, will UK ministers protect our ecosystems? No, they’ll chicken out, 23 July). Our farms have no direct contact with the soil and operate under permits issued and regulated by the Environment Agency, giving transparency on how manure is managed on site and where it goes when it leaves. The chicken manure produced in the UK is used either for energy generation or as a fertiliser by other farming sectors. Each destination has full traceability, and manure will often be transported across the country to be used where it is most needed. Continue reading…

Veszélybe került a globális élelmiszer-ellátás – Nagyon gyorsan lépni kell

A közel-keleti konfliktus a hidrogénalapú termékek globális termelését és kereskedelmét is megzavarta, rámutatva a nem kellően diverzifikált ellátási láncok sebezhetőségeire. Ennek hatására a műtrágyák, vegyi anyagok és finomított termékek globális piacai is jelentős zavarokkal küzdenek, amihez közvetve a szintén a közel-keleti krízis kiváltotta gázpiaci helyzet is hozzájárul. Az alacsony karbonintenzitású hidrogéntermelés tiszta alternatívát kínálhatna nem csak a fosszilis alapú hidrogéntermeléssel szemben, azonban ez még nem áll rendelkezésre olyan léptékben, hogy azonnal enyhíthetné a nyomást. A piac fejlődését a magasabb költségek mellett a bizonytalan kereslet, a bonyolult szabályozás és az infrastruktúra hiánya is lassítja, így a kormányok által kitűzött 2030-as célok egyre inkább elérhetetlennek tűnnek - derül ki a Nemzetközi Energia Ügynökség (IEA) jelentéséből.
