Environmental impact of post-harvest loss reduction of food from the perspective of reducing carbon emissions
The impact of greenhouse gas emissions from the grain system on the environment has aroused widespread concern in the academic community.Choosing reasonable post-harvest loss reduction of grain and emission reduction interventions can effectively curb the carbon emissions of the food system.By combing the domestic and foreign literature,this paper clarified the connotation of the environmental effect of post-harvest loss,and explored the correlation between post-harvest loss reduction and carbon emission reduction.The study found that the current research on the carbon emission effect of post-harvest loss of food focused on the impact of related factors on carbon emissions,and lacked research on the carbon emission potential under different loss reduction paths.There are lacked literature studies which lacked of specific data support.Some research on the carbon emission reduction effect of post-harvest loss of grain are concentrated in a single grain production and consump-tion cycle,and there is a lack of research on the impact of cost and yield fluctuations caused by the price mechanism on the change of carbon emissions in the next food production cycle.Post-harvest loss reduction measures should be targeted at key links,pay attention to processing and storage links,and increase the number of grain that smooth-ly enter the consumer end under the same emission scale is an effective carbon emission reduction measure.
