00:00Why the only place that sells lechon in the green zone of the COP16
00:03could not sell the one that is considered the best meat of the world for two days?
00:08This is a very good excuse to talk about why what we eat
00:11has all to do with the lack of biodiversity of which we are talking about.
00:22According to the UNU, since several years ago,
00:24in their main meetings, they have the tradition to celebrate the Wednesday without meat.
00:28This is a small step to know about the impact of our agricultural and climate in the biodiversity and climate,
00:35told us from the organization of the event.
00:38The restaurants that are in the Azul have to adapt during the two lunes
00:43their dishes to offer only vegetarian food.
00:46Yes, even the restaurant Lechona also had to do it.
00:49We are not with the delicious Lechona today,
00:52but with fruit and vegetables,
00:55fruit and vegetables,
00:56which are also part of our gastronomia.
00:58But why do we think about the biodiversity and climate change
01:02when we choose what to eat?
01:04Here we give some data to make sure
01:06the next time to go to the market
01:08or go to a restaurant.
01:10First,
01:10of the six main components of loss of biodiversity
01:13that have been identified,
01:15the first one is the loss and degradation
01:16of the habitat,
01:17mainly caused by the alimentary system.
01:20Second,
01:21this system also uses the 40% of the entire soil
01:24and is responsible for the 25% of the gas emissions
01:28in the world.
01:30And we are in the COP of the biodiversity.
01:33Did you know that our dishes are very little diverse?
01:35Only two vegetables and five animals
01:38constitute the 75% of what, in average,
01:41all humans consume daily.
01:43If you want to know more about the relationship
01:45between the climate change,
01:47the loss of biodiversity and what we eat daily,
01:49we invite you to consult the section
01:51of Ruta La COP16 in El Espectador.
