Summary

Carbon Footprint Food explores the significant link between our food choices, food production systems, and climate change. Agriculture contributes substantially to greenhouse gas emissions, with some studies showing that the environmental impact of food production accounts for a considerable portion of global carbon emissions. Understanding the historical context of agriculture, from traditional methods to industrialized processes, reveals how the increase in carbon emissions food accelerated with modern farming practices.

 
The book progresses logically, beginning with an introduction to carbon footprints and their relevance to the food industry. It then examines the carbon emissions associated with different stages of food production, including agriculture, processing, transportation, and waste disposal.

 
Sustainable diets, like plant-based options, can have a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to omnivorous diets, offering a pathway for individuals to reduce their environmental impact.

 
The book concludes by offering practical strategies for individuals and policymakers to promote sustainable agriculture, reduce food industry carbon footprint, and implement effective solutions.

    This is small copy of introduction of the book: Giordano Bruno was a 16th-century Italian friar, philosopher, mathematician, astronomer, and occultist. He is best known for his cosmological theories, which anticipated the Copernican model of the universe and held that the stars are distant suns surrounded by their own planets. Bruno's ideas were considered heretical by the Catholic Church, and he was burned at the stake in Rome in 1600. 
    Bruno was born in Nola, Italy, in 1548. He joined the Dominican Order at the age of 15, but he soon became disillusioned with the Church's teachings. He left the Order in 1572 and began to travel throughout Europe, teaching his ideas about cosmology and philosophy. 
    In 1576, Bruno published his book On the Shadows of the Ideas, in which he outlined his cosmological theories. He argued that the universe is infinite and that it contains many inhabited worlds. He also rejected the Aristotelian view of the universe as a finite sphere centered on the Earth.  
    Bruno's ideas were controversial from the start. He was accused of heresy by the Catholic Church and forced to flee Geneva in 1583. He then spent several years in France, where he was protected by King Henry III. However, after Henry's death in 1589, Bruno was forced to flee again. 
    In 1591, Bruno returned to Italy. He was arrested in Venice in 1592 and extradited to Rome. He was put on trial for heresy and found guilty. On February 17, 1600, Bruno was burned at the stake in Campo de' Fiori. 
    Despite his execution, Bruno's ideas had a profound influence on later thinkers. His work helped to pave the way for the scientific revolution of the 17th century.

    Creative Evolution

    Henri Bergson

    Henri Bergson’s highly influential book, ‘Creative Evolution’ (‘Evolution Creatrice’, 1907) established a theory of evolution - called ‘Creative Evolution Theory’ - which gained a considerable following in the first half of the 20th Century. It also helped the author to win the Nobel Prize in 1927 for his work investigating the origins of biological information and divergence in the evolutionary process.  
     
    In this work, Bergson seeks an alternative explanation as to how new forms of life emerge compared to those prevailing at the time. This included both the ‘mechanistic’ or deterministic explanations of biological science on the one hand, and on the other the ‘finalist’ or strictly teleological explanation of those who believed in the hand of a ‘Creator’ or God, coordinating life in a divine plan. 
     
    Creative Evolution proposes a third explanation in what Bergson calls élan vital’ or ‘vital impetus’, a force that infuses all matter and drives it forward into an ever-changing and infinite variety of living forms. This appears as a vital impetus that can also be related to humanity’s own creative life force. Bergson’s book builds on his ‘Theory of Time’ as set forth in works such as ‘Matter and Memory’ and ‘Time and Free Will’.  In these works, and in the present volume, Bergson sees continuous ‘duration’ as real time, as opposed to the way in which time is divided up into measured units by the ‘organising’ mind of science. 
     
    Life, as we really experience it, is subject to constant change and our tendency to explain evolutionary change by looking only at ‘ends’ achieved rather than the processes by which they emerge, divorces us from the life force itself.  
     
    Instead, Bergson feels we need to reengage with our instincts as well as with our intelligence in order to understand the evolutionary process, as both co-exist to some extent within us, all forms of life having a common origin in that instinctual, innate knowledge of simpler life forms. Though these may be unconscious or semi-conscious, they are, in Bergson’s view, much more in touch with the ever-changing nature of real time than the analytical and rational knowledge of our species 
     
    As he writes:  “Our thought, in its purely logical form, is incapable of presenting the true nature of life, the full meaning of the evolutionary movement. Created by life, in definite circumstances, to act on definite things, how can it embrace life, of which it is only an emanation or an aspect?”  
     
    It is to attempt an answer to this question that ‘Creative Evolution’ directs its attention.

    Computational physics is a branch of physics that utilizes numerical methods and computational techniques to solve complex physical problems. It bridges the gap between theoretical physics, which relies on mathematical models, and experimental physics, which depends on observations and measurements. As physical systems often involve equations that are difficult or impossible to solve analytically, computational methods provide an essential toolset for modern scientific inquiry. 
    One of the primary roles of computational physics is to simulate and model real-world phenomena that would otherwise be too expensive, time-consuming, or impossible to study experimentally. From simulating planetary motion to modeling quantum interactions at the atomic scale, computational methods enable scientists to explore new frontiers in physics. This approach has led to significant advancements in various fields, including condensed matter physics, astrophysics, and plasma physics. 
    A fundamental aspect of computational physics is the reliance on numerical approximations. Many physical equations, such as differential equations governing motion or thermodynamic properties, do not have exact solutions. Instead, numerical techniques like finite difference methods, Monte Carlo simulations, and spectral methods are employed to approximate solutions with high accuracy. While these methods introduce some level of approximation error, advancements in computational power and algorithm efficiency have significantly improved the precision of such calculations.
