10.Air transport is increasingly used to export fruit and vegetables to countries where they cannot be grown or are out of season. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this?
Fresh produce is more frequently used in air transportation and is exported by
fruits
and vegetables
into countries
where it is out of the season or impossible to grow. The advantages of this
are that consumers can enjoy a wide range of fresh fruits
and vegetables
at all years and some countries
rely on imported food
to feed their people. However
, this
puts a tremendous increase on the environment because of harmful farming methods and pollution produced by Aeroplan.
One benefit of importing fruits
and vegetables
is the wide range of products that can be found throughout the years. Some countries
are only able to produce a specific session, so, without imports, they would not be able to consume fruits
and vegetables
all year. Moreover
, imported produce is a vital rule for gradually increased economic in some countries
. This
is because some countries
have not grown specific fruits
and their harsh environmental problem is land degradation. For instance
, India is mostly desert and relies largely on imported produce.
On the other hand
, exporting food
often results in farming practices that damage the environment. The extra demand overseas for the markets where domestic products are not sold increased, so, the need for exporters is import lots of fruits
, domestic producers increase their food
production, which often means using dangerous pesticides and fertilisers. This
is compounded when you consider air pollution caused by aeroplanes. Each time food
is exported a huge time safe, fuel burned is consumed a huge amount, resulting in carbon emission that contributes to global warming. For example
, it is estimated that 12000 tons of carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere every year by planes carrying food
from tropical countries
.
In conclusion, while
exporting produce overseas allows people to eat a variety of fresh fruits
and vegetables
throughout the year and is essential for people in some countries
to survive, it is important to pay attention to the costs to the environment caused by air transport and changes to farming methods.Submitted by nikhilnath1996 on
