2012世界水日宣传视频：世界缺水是因为我们缺粮

 

今年3月22日是第20个“世界水日”，联合国确定2012年“世界水日”的主题是“水与粮食安全”。缓解水资源危机，从节约粮食、优化膳食结构开始。

On the planet today There are over 7 BILLION people,

在今天的地球上，生活着70多亿人口

By 2050 we will be 9 BILLION to feed. 

而到2050年，将要有90亿人口要吃饭

But did you know that 

但您是否知道

Without water, no food can be produced.

没有水，哪来的粮食？

No water = No food.

没有水=没粮食

One person needs to drink 2 to 4 litres of water a day,

每天，每人需饮用2至4升水

We virtually EAT 2000 to 5000 litres embedded¹ in our daily food.

却随着食物实际“吃下去”2000至5000升水

To produce 1kg of wheat: 1,500 litres of water;

每生产1千克小麦需要1500升水

1kg of beef: 15,000 litres of water (10 TIMES MORE!)

每生产1千克牛肉却需要15000升水（高出10倍！）

90% of our total water consumption² goes to produce today's food.

用水总量中约90%都用于当前的粮食生产

In 2050, 2/3 of the world population could live under water stresses conditions.

到2050年，世界上三分之二的人口可能处于用水紧张的状况

And still 1/3 of the global food production is LOST o WASTED.

但尽管如此，全球粮食生产中却有三分之一遭到损失或浪费

From field to fork, water can be SAVED to produce MORE FOOD with LESS WATER. 

从农田到餐桌，都可以节约用水，以便少用水，多打粮

But your dietary choices and your attitude also matter. 

但是，您的饮食选择和您的态度也一样重要

YOU can make a difference, WE ALL can make a difference. 

您可以有所作为，我们大家都可以有所作为

Adopt sustainable choices and stop wasting food. 

选择可持续性膳食，别再浪费粮食

FOOD WASTED = WATER WASTED 浪费粮食=浪费水
