Abstract(s)
Os processos alimentares são grandes causadores de impactes ambientais, sendo responsáveis por parte
da Pegada Ecológica de cada ser humano. A desflorestação, o consumo de recursos hídricos, a perda de
biodiversidade, a produção de gases do efeito de estufa, estão entre as consequências ambientais
relacionadas com a alimentação, mas nem sempre isso é entendido pela sociedade. Procurar formas de
produzir e consumir alimentos de forma mais sustentável deveria ser uma prioridade dos governantes
de todos os países, visto que a segurança alimentar no futuro depende das atitudes e dos comportamentos
para com o ambiente no presente. O objetivo do estudo aqui relatado, desenvolvido através da revisão
de literatura, é discutir os impactes ambientais relacionados com a alimentação e promover uma breve
reflexão sobre o papel da educação ambiental para uma alimentação mais sustentável, que procure
formas de reduzir esses impactes, sensibilizando para boas práticas de produção e consumo alimentar e
contribuindo, assim, para se atingirem os desígnios da Agenda 2030, nomeadamente os ODS 2 – Fome
zero e Agricultura Sustentável e ODS 12 – Consumo e Produção Responsáveis.
Food processes are major causes of environmental impacts, being responsible for part of the ecological footprint of each human being. Deforestation, the consumption of water resources, the loss of biodiversity, the production of greenhouse gases, are among the environmental consequences related to food, but they are not always understood as such by society. To produce and consume food in a more sustainable way should be a priority for governments in all countries, since food security in the future depends on attitudes and behaviours towards the environment today. The aim of this study, developed through a literature review, is to discuss the environmental impacts related to food and to promote a brief reflection on the role of environmental education for a more sustainable diet, seeking ways to reduce the environmental impact, raising awareness of good practices for food production and consumption, thus contributing to the 2030 Agenda, namely SDGs 2 - Zero Hunger and Sustainable Agriculture and SDG 12 - Responsible Consumption and Production.
