isks of accumulating waste. But a study tried to raise a different light to food waste reduction: If food waste is largely reduced, what will happen to the animals that depend on it? In a research led by James Cook University , findings on efforts on food waste reduction have provided another way to view the situation. Quoting John Francis Campbell on Popular Tales of the West Highlands, “one man’s rubbish is another man’s treasure” seems to be the team’s base concept. According to the study’s author, Iain Gordon, a professor at James Cook University, we waste 40 percent of the food that we produce. “So what is the implication(可能的影响 ) of removing that waste from the system? There may be some species the that face a significant decline in their populations,” Gordon pointed out. The group cited(列举 ) different cases of animals depending on our food and agricultural wastes. For example, migratory(迁徒的 ) birds are highly dependent on leftovers of farms along the way. The team noted that increasing agricultural efficiency with less food waste may pose(造成 ) hunger to these birds that have been travling in the skies for long periods. The bale eagles and seagulls in the US were also mentioned, since reduction of food waste that ends up in landfills can greatly reduce the food source of these species. Meanwhile, in Europe, the population of vulture(秃鹫 ) has a dramatic tumble, associated with the mad cow disease, since the bodies were buried by farmers instead of being left in the open. Based on the statement of Professor Martine Maron of the University of Queensland, the paper’s idea is quite interesting enough to reconsider food waste management but has focused on the bigger picture of food insecurity for the people. 32.
