An Australian prfessr is develping a rbt t mnitr the health f grazing cattle, a develpment that culd bring big changes t a prfessin that’s relied largely n a lw-tech apprach fr decades but is facing a labr shrtage.
Salah Sukkarieh, a prfessr at the University f Sydney, sees rbts as necessary given hw cattlemen are aging. He is building a fur-wheeled rbt that will run n slar and electric pwer.

Nw, by fllwing specific fds thrugh their entire life cycle, researchers have determined just hw much this wasted fd adds t emissins during harvest, transprtatin and dispsal.
Fr a study in Nature Fd, Xunchang Fei and his teammates used 164 cuntries’ fd supply data frm 2001 t 2017 t estimate emissins acrss 54 fd prducts and fur categries: cereals（谷物）and beans; meat and animal prducts; vegetables and fruits; and rt and il crps.

Of the fur fd categries, meat and animal prducts were the surce f almst three quarters f emissins that ccurred thrughut the supply-chain stage invlving fd lss.
The study als fund that emissins varied frm cuntries t cuntries. Fr instance, develped cuntries’ advanced waste-treatment technlgies culd create fewer emissins. Such details shwed hw “different cuntries shuld set different gals fr the reductins f fd lss and waste,” Fei said, “such as reducing meat prductin in sme areas, and switching frm landfills t cmpsting（堆肥）prcesses in thers.”
Prajal Pradhan, an expert in fd system, nted that the United Natins Sustainable Develpment Gals aimed t halve fd waste in the cming years. Based n this study, he said emissins culd decrease if high-incme cuntries culd fcus n saving fd thrwn away by cnsumers, and lw-and-middle-incme cuntries culd priritize aviding fd lss during harvest, prcessing, strage and transprt.
