REFLECTION QUESTIONFood, Agriculture, and Land Use Keep Track of Wasted FoodAn average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Where would you rather use this money?

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood, Agriculture, and Land Use Smaller PortionsWhile dishing food out, we tend to load our plates with more than we need. Using smaller plates helps to mitigate this. Aside from the environmental benefits, what other benefits might come from eating/serving smaller portions?

REFLECTION QUESTIONIndustry Practice the 5 R'sWhat are some more "R's" you could add to your daily practice to reduce your waste?
Alejandra Morante Caicedo 3/20/2021 10:28 AMReducir debe ser la R más importante. Desde las pequeñas acciones de comprar lo necesario, trabajar en esos preconcetos de que la felicidad y el estado de bienestar van de la mano de acciones de consumo y así, vivir vidas más tranquilas. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Healing & Renewal Go for a Daily WalkWhat have you noticed on your daily walks? What have you enjoyed? What infrastructure changes could make your walks more enjoyable or possible?

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood, Agriculture, and Land Use Reduce Animal ProductsWhy do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our bodies, our planet, and other people?
Alejandra Morante Caicedo 3/20/2021 10:22 AMPersonas con mayor capacidad económica tienden a tener dietas con productos más "exquisitos" como la carne. Así es como debería de ser considerada, un producto de lujo, esto no únicamente por todas las consecuencias medio ambientales que acarrea como el altísimo uso hídrico, el despeje de áreas para el establecimiento de ganado, los gases efecto invernadero liberados a las atmósfera, sino por el hecho de que consumirla apoya procesos de inequidad alimentaria y malnutrición en algún lugar del mundo. La trazabilidad puede ser un poco difusa pero creo que una dieta basada mayoritariamente en plantas puede propiciar un mundo ecológicamente más estable y equitativo. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood, Agriculture, and Land Use CompostingProducing food that goes uneaten squanders many resources—seeds, water, energy, land, fertilizer, hours of labor, financial capital. Which of these kinds of waste most motivates you to change your behavior regarding food waste? Why?
Alejandra Morante Caicedo 3/20/2021 10:15 AMCompostar ha sido un proceso de reconexión con la tierra.
