"The international community should put solving regi

Transportation of freight containing foodstuffs is often carried out across great distances by road and rail. There is a craziness that exists to supply the huge supermarket chains with produce up and down the country from massive Marvin Jones Jr Rush Jersey , centralized farms. This is a practice that makes no sense. In a country such as the United States, there is ample farmland the length and breadth of the country with the means to grow most staple crops anywhere in the country. Yet a farm in one part of the country will produce crops that are transported by truck via road or train via rail to a supermarket hundreds of miles away. It happens every single day.


Most consumers have no idea where their food comes from, and quite frankly most of them don't care. If it’s on the supermarket shelves at the same price they bought if for last week, then that's good enough for them. Well, it’s not good enough if that freight of carrots spent all night on the road being transported from a farm several hundred miles away Golden Tate III Rush Jersey , when there is a perfectly good farm that also grows carrots twenty miles in the other direction. The ludicrous part of it is that the farm 20 miles away is probably supplying a different supermarket 300 miles away! Why is this?


Supermarket company buyers have a set list of farms where they source their goods from. Doesn't matter how far away it may be from some of their outlets if they're spread across the country, as is often the case. So a farm that may be 20 miles away from the first supermarket outlet will transport carrots or cabbages to that outlet and also to all the other outlets across the country, because they have an exclusive contract with that particular supermarket chain.


This practise may seem simple and logistically centralized, but it costs not just money to transport the freight of carrots and cabbages across the country, but it also costs in truck fuel usage and the pollution it causes. Not to mention that while the carrots may be fresh when they arrive at the first supermarket on the route Darius Slay Jr Rush Jersey , by the time they get to the last one, they're a day older.


The solution to this transportation craziness is obvious. That is to supply each supermarket with the bulk of its fresh produce from a local farm that diversifies to produce a wide range of food crops. That cuts down to the minimum any transportation costs and time. It cuts pollution and also ensures that the produce reaches the store while it is still fresh.


Will that happen? Well, in the case of some smaller store chains, they are seeing the light and adopting exactly this principal. But it’s still only on a very small scale compared to the mighty supermarket chains that continue to waste trucking fuel and money to keep up the pressure on their stranglehold on the food industry.


However, people can make a difference. Already Matthew Stafford Rush Jersey , we've seen more organic produce in supermarkets than we did a decade ago because consumers started to demand it. If more consumers voiced their dislike of the way food is unnecessarily transported across vast distances when it can just as easily be sourced locally, then the supermarkets will bend to the power of a big voice of a large group of consumers. To sway the big supermarkets, it'll probably take voices in their millions. Bit it can happen. Enough people just have to want it to happen badly enough and they can make it happen.

UNITED NATIONS, June 8 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese envoy to the United Nations on Thursday called on the international community to adapt to the new trends and features of terrorist groups and enhance cooperation in fighting terrorism.


Recently, multiple terrorist attacks occurred in Egypt Ziggy Ansah Rush Jersey , Afghanistan, Britain, France, Iran and other places, causing severe casualties and property losses Graham Glasgow Jersey , said Wu Haitao, China's deputy permanent representative to the UN, at a Security Council meeting which focused on the threats to international peace and security caused by terrorist acts.


Terrorism is the common enemy of mankind and its impact goes beyond borders, he stressed. "No country can address terrorism by itself or keep itself from terrorism."


At the meeting, UN Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs Jeffrey Feltman offered a briefing on the threat posed by the Islamic State (IS) Taylor Decker Jersey , saying that the group, also known as ISIL, continues to resist, particularly in Mosul of Iraq, and Raqqa of Syria.


"Although ISIL's financial situation has steadily declined over the past 16 months Michael Roberts Jersey , it continues to rely chiefly on the same two revenue streams -- sales of hydrocarbons and extortiontaxation, which may amount to tens of millions of dollars per month," Feltman said.


The threat from IS has been intensified by its use of the Internet and social media to disseminate propaganda online to a wide international audience, Feltman added.


Wu called for measures to reach international consensus, deal with the root causes of terrorism Kenny Golladay Jersey , stem the transnational movement of terrorists, cut off their financing channels and fight against their propaganda.


"The international community should put solving regional hot-spot issues as a top priority, and work to promote political dialogues to address regional conflicts and maintain regional peace, stability and development, so as to eradicate the root cause of terrorism Jarrad Davis Jersey ," said Wu.
