Migrating Food By Hélène, Eline, Jóhann, Falko, Melisa and Kristina

2 Origin Pineapple : Tropical plant; originates from the area between Southern Brazil and Paraguay. Tomatoes : Originating in South America and was spread around the world during the Spanish colonization there. Beans : The oldest-known domesticated beans in the Americas were found in Guitarrero Cave Banana: Southeast Asian farmers first domesticated bananas. Coffee: the cultivation of coffee first expanded in the Arab world Tea: Tea plants are native to East and South Asia and probably originated around the point of confluence of the lands of northeast India, north Burma, southwest China, and Tibet.

3 Environmental impact Life-Cycle assessment :
technique to evaluate enviromental impact Food miles: term used to describe the food´s transportation distance Carbon emission label: describes how much carbon dioxide is caused by a product’s transportation Life-Cycle assessment is a technique to evaluate environmental impact linked with all the stages of a product‘s lifetime from the beginning to the end. Food miles is the term used to describe the food´s transportation distance from the production until it reaches the customer. Food miles is also one of the factors used to evaluate the environmental impact of food and the impact on Global Warming. Carbon emission label describes how much carbon dioxide is caused by a product´s transportation. It should help people to know how much influence a product has on the environment. (page 27)

4 Transport By airplane By ship By train By Truck
Products can be transported in different ways : trains, ships, airplanes and trucks. Airplanes consume the most energy and pollute the most. Ships can transport many containers at once but it takes more time to travel between countries. Trains and trucks only transport on land, ships only over sea but the planes can do both while being the fastest option. By train By Truck

5 Pineapples Countries with tropical climates for example: Costa Rica
By airplane

6 Banana Countries with tropical climates for example: Costa Rica
By ship

7 Tomatoes Everywhere In containers by boat, to hold fresh

8 Grapes Everywhere from the temperate zone for example : Italy, France and Usa By train, truck and plane

9 Beans Everywhere in the world By trucks, auto, ship

10 Paprika Plant in South-America By ship

11 Coffee First expanded in the Arab world In containers by ship or truck

12 Tea South-Asia By ship

13 Lemons Mostly come from mediterranean countries like Spain, Italy or Portugal but also from South Africa and Tasmania Island. By ship in containers

14 Migrated food For example pizza: Between 1870 and 1970, over 26 million individuals departed from Italy as migrants, typically in search of work. The residents of Italy had long been poor, but only in the late nineteenth century did their poverty motivate them to travel such long distances. When Italians sought work, they tended to travel along well- established commercial routes.

15 conclusion The world is becoming more and more aware of the pollution. The transport is also getting more expensive, so are the products. The world is becoming more and more aware of the pollution production transport is causing. It is also really expensive to move product masses from one corner of the world to another. Everybody can contribute to close the narrow gap that minimizes the pollution of our planet.
