with the global population predicted to hit close to 10 billion by 2050, and forecasts.
that agri-cultural production in some regions will need to nearly double to keep pace. food security is increasingly making headlines. in the uk, it has become a big talking point recently too, for rather particular reason: brexit.
brexit is seen by some as an opportunity to reverse a recent trend towards the uk importing food the country produces only about 60 percent of the food it eats. down from almost three-quarters in the late 1980s a move back to self-sufficiency. the argument goes, would boost the farming industry. political sovereignty and even the nations health.
sounds great- but how feasible is this vision?
according to a report on uk food production from the university of leeds, uk, 85 percent of the countryt allow us to cover all our meat and dairy needs.
there are many caveats to those figures. but they are still grave. to become much more self-sufficient, the uk would need to drastically reduce its consumption of animal foods,and probably also farm more intensively meaning fewer green fields and more factory-style production.
but switching to a mainly plant-based diet wouldnt have the right soil or climate to grow crops on commercial basis.
just 25 per cent of the countrys land is suitable for crop-growing. most of which is already occupied by arable fields. even if we converted all the suitable land to fields of fruit and veg- -which would involve taking out all the nature reserves and removing thousands of people from their homes-we would achieve only a 30 percent boost in crop production.
just 23 per cent of the fruit and vegetables consumed in the uk are currently home-grown. so even with the most extreme measures we could meet only 30 per cent of our fresh produce needs. that is before we look
for the space to grow the grains, sugars, seeds and oils that provide
us with the vast bulk of our current calorie intake.

on a recent sunny day13 .000 chickens roam over larry browns by design, part of what the $6.1 billion us.egg industry bets will be its next big thing:climate- friendly eggs.these eggs,which are making their debut now on shelves for as much ass8adozen,are still labeled organic and animal-
friendly,but they says brown,who is adding more
cover crops 
that draw worms and crickets for the chickens to eat. the birds allow our hens to forage for higher-quality natural feed that will be good for the land, the hens, and the eggs that we supply to our customers. the egg industrys push is the first major test of whether animal products from regenerative farms can become the next premium offering.in barely more than a decade,organic eggs went from being dismissed as a niche product in natural foods stores to being sold
at walmart.more recently there were
similar doubts about probiotics and plant-based meats,but both have exploded into major supermarket categories .if the sustainable-egg roll
out is successful. it could open the floodgates for regenerative beef, broccoli,and beyond.
regenerative products could be a hard sell because the concept is tough to define quickly,says julie stanton, associateprofessor of agricultural economics at pennsylvania state university brandywine.such farming also brings minimal, if any,improvement to the food products (though some producers say their eggs have more protein).the industry is betting that the same consumers paying more for premium attributes such as free-range ,non-gmo ,and pasture-raised eggswill embrace sustainability.surveys show that younger generations are more concerned about climate change,and some of the success of plant-based meat can be chalked up to shoppers wanting to signal their desire to protect environment. young adults realey care about the pla says.john brunnquell, pesidnt ofegg

a.at a considerably low cost
b.at the demand of regular shoppers

a.reducting the damage of
b.accelaratiny the disposal of uest
c.creatiny a sustainable system
d.attractive customers to his products

33. the example of organic eggs is used in the paragragh if to suggest
a.the doubts to over natural feeds
b.the set breaks in the eggs industry
c.the potential of regenerative products
d.the promotional success of super markets

although ethics classes are common around the world, scientists are unsure if their lessons can actually change behavior, evidence either way is
weak, relying on contrived laboratory tests or sometimes unreliable self-reports . but a new study published in cognition found that，in at least one real-world situation a singlethics lesson may have had lasting effects.
the researchers investigated one class sessions impact on eating meat.they chose this particular behavior for three reasons : according to study co-author encschwitgebel,a philosopher at the university of califomnia riverside :student sattitudes on the topic are varlable and unstable ;behavior is easily measurable,andethics literature largely agrees that eating less meat is good becauseit reduce senvironmental harm and animal suffering.
half of the students in four large philosophy classes read an article on the ethics of factory- farmed meat, optinally watched an 11-minute video
on the topic and joined a 50-minute discussion .the other half focused on charitable giving instead .then unknown to the students . there searchersstudied their anonymized meal card purchases for that semestermearly 14.000 receipts for almost 500 students schwitzgebel predicted the intervention would have no effect ; he had previously found that ethics professors do not dffer fom other professors on arange of behaviors, including voting rates,blood donation and returning librarybooks.but among student subjects who discussed meat ethics,meal purchase scontaining meat decreased from 52 to 45 percent – and this efiet held steady for the studys duration of several weeks . purchasesfom the other group remained at 52 percent.
that,sactually a pretty large effect for a pretty smallintervention schwizgebel says . psychologist nina strohminger at the university of pennsyivania ,who was not involved in the study,says she wants the effect to be cannot rule out some unknown confounding variable . and if real shenotes, it might be reversible by another mudge: easy come,easy go schwitzgebel suspects the greatest impact came from social.
influence classmates or teaching assistants leading the discussions may have shared their own vegetarianism,showing it as achievable or more
common.
second，the video may have had an emotional impact . least rousing,he thinks was rational argument ,although his co-authors say reason might
play a bigger role . now there searchers are probingthe specific effets of teaching style,teaching assistant seating habits and students video exposure. meanwhile schwitzgebel – who had predicted no effect-will be eating his words.
36.scientists generally believe that the effects of ethics classes are
a.hard to determine
b.narrowly interpreted
c.difficult to ignore
d.poorly summarized
[答案] a
37. which of the following is a reason for the researchers to study meat-eating?
a.it is common among students.
b.it is a behavior easy to measure
c.it is important to students health
