Burger carbon footprint

The food we eat is responsible for almost a third of our global carbon footprint and food waste represents one of the biggest challenges in waste management. In the EU, around 88 million tonnes of food waste is generated annually but wasting food is not only an ethical and economic issue but it also environment issue. Food production is a major cause of changes in land use, loss of biodiversity and increased greenhouse gas emissions. Nowadays fast food restaurants have become a way of life throughout the world for many people and burgers are common food items for the most people in the developed world. Environmental impact of burger is recognized during growing, farming, processing, transporting, storing and, at the end – disposing. This paper will define burger´s footprint throughout whole life circle.
