You will probably be surprised how far food travels to get to your plateThis journey, from “field to plate”, is called “food miles”. A food mile is the distance that food travels from the farmers field to the person who buys the foodNowadays, food often travels thousands of miles to get to the consumer (消费者)Why is this, and what are the effects (影响) of these long distances?Traditionally, farmers sold their food in the local market so the food didnt have to travel very farThe consumers also did not travel very far, because they went to their local market to buy the foodThis was a good system for farmers and consumersHowever, there were some disadvantagesFor example, consumers could only buy food that farmers produced locallyIn addition, they could only get food that was in seasonNow, because of modern technology, food comes from all over the worldWe do not have to wait for spring or summer to buy strawberries or tomatoesThey are_in winter if we wantSome countries have to import(进口) most of their foodThis is because they have difficult climatesThe United Arab Emirates(UAE), for example, gets 85% of its food from other countriesEven food made in the UAE often uses imported materialsWhats wrong with “food miles”? Is this not a good way of increasing international trade? I believe these miles are worrying for a number of reasonsFirst of all, because food travels such long distanceswe need more planes, lorries, and ships to move the foodThis means we use more oil or petrol, so there is more pollution and more global(全球的) warmingIn addition, food that travels a long way is not fresh and usually not very tastyTomatoes, for example, are picked early and stored for their long journeyFor this reason, they are usually tasteless when they get to the consumerLocal food has a better taste, and it also reduces the amount of global pollutionWe need to buy more local food26 .

A network is a group of computers put together.Maybe that doesnt sound interesting. But when weve joined the internet, there are lots and lots of things wecan do.
