Arguably one of the biggest issues currently facing humanity, is how to sustainably feed 9 billion people in 2050 without destroying the planet. But why is our current global diet and food system unsustainable? And what exactly does a sustainable diet look like? For example, the UN FAO has reported that raising animals for food contributes more to climate change than all transportation combined1. Due to its impact on climate, land, and water resources, the urgent need to manage the consumption of meat in our diet has been widely cited2. Despite this urgent need, global meat consumption is predicted to keep growing in the coming decades3. Undoubtedly, we need innova- tive strategies to address the predicted trends of environmental depletion resulting from our global diet. Not only does a future food system need to address environmental sustainability but it will also need to sustain human health. Currently, the global food system is suffering from the ‘double burden’ of nutri- tion, with 2 billion people ’undernourished’ and 1.5 billion ‘over-nourished’4. Sustainable diets will therefore require both security of supply and accessibility to quality, nutritious products that are good for our health. In many developed countries, the food system is increasingly being dominated by cheap, processed food. Similarly, this trend is also now being witnessed in several of the developing countri- es5. There is a great need to address these socio-economic trends and instead promote the develop- ment of more sustainable diets and food systems. 1.1a The impact of our global diet on the environment One of the main forces behind many of the 21st century's environmental challenges is the impact of our global food and agriculture system. Population growth and increased patterns of consumption have transformed food production around the world into highly industrialized, large-scale operations. As a result of these operations, food systems are having an extensive range of negative environmental im- pacts on our land, water, and atmospheric resources. Therefore, in order to set the context for the later parts of the report, the following will discuss some of the main impacts our global diet is having on the environment. In addition, given the purpose of this report, the below will also highlight some key impacts specific to livestock production and the consumption of animal-sourced foods. Our global diet and land impact The main impact of our global diet stems from the clearing of natural habitats for agriculture purposes. Around 50% of the world's habitable land has already been cleared in order to produce food. Overall, farmland now covers 38% of the world's land area6. The challenge, however, is that fertile land is being exhausted and we are continuing to clear natural habitats in order to meet rising consumption pat- terns. Recent examples include the conversion of rainforest in Indonesia to palm oil plantations, and large areas of the Amazon rainforest for soybean production and cattle grazing. In addition, because of unsustainable food production, 12 million hectares of land are being lost each year to desertification7. Livestock production is specifically the biggest anthropogenic user of land and the expansion of live- stock production is a key factor of deforestation either for grazing pastures or to grow feed for live- stock8. 1 Our global diet and water waste Another critical impact of our global diet is water waste in our food system. Agriculture uses approxi- mately 70% of our planet's available freshwater9 – when we compare this figure to other sectors such as Industry use (23%),and Household use (8%) we can see that the future of our planet's freshwater re- sources will be won or lost as a result of how we produce our food and our consumption habits. Cur- rently, it is estimated that 15–35% of water used by agriculture is unsustainable10. In other words, this means that

  • Chapter 01 1
    Chapter 01 1. Introduction McDonald's is one of the best-known brands worldwide. This case study shows how McDonald's continually aims to build its brand by listening to its customers. It also identifies the various stages in the marketing process. Branding develops a personality for an organization, product or service. The brand image represents how consumers view the organization. Branding only works when an organization behaves and presents itself in a consistent way. Marketing communication methods, such as advertising and promotion, are used to create the colors, designs and images, which give the brand its recognizable face. At McDonald's this is represented by its familiar logo - the Golden Arches. Marketing involves identifying customer needs and requirements, and meeting these needs in a better way than competitors. In this way a company creates loyal customers. The starting point is to find out who potential customers are - not everyone will want what McDonald's has to offer. The people McDonald's identifies as likely customers are known as key audiences. McDonald’s has come up with advertising campaigns to help combat the dropping sales such as its New Taste Menu, and this was geared toward the healthier consumer. The message was that the company was tasty and nutritious, friendly folks and fun could be found at McDonald’s. 1.1 Problem Statement McDonald’s has been forced to contend with a number of potential obstacles to growth in recent years, most notably stark criticism and a less-than-favorable global economic climate that has seen consumers reduce their discretionary spending.

  • Regiocentric Orientation Strategy in Fast Food Chain
    IOSR Journal of Business and Management (IOSR-JBM) e-ISSN: 2278-487X, p-ISSN: 2319-7668. Volume 17, Issue 8.Ver. I (Aug. 2015), PP 01-04 www.iosrjournals.org Regiocentric orientation strategy in fast food chain Prof. Kunal Bhanubhai Upadhyay BBA Faculty, SRK Institute of Management & Computer Education, Sapeda-Anjar (Gujarat). India. Abstract: Fast food restaurants usually have a seating area in which customers can eat the food on the premises, orders are designed to be taken away, and traditional table service is rare. Orders are generally taken and paid for at a wide counter, with the customer waiting by the counter for a tray or container for their food. A "drive-through" service can allow customers to order and pick up food from their cars. Nearly from its inception, fast food has been designed to be eaten "on the go" and often does not require traditional tableware and is eaten as a finger food. Common menu items at fast food outlets include fish and chips, sandwiches, pitas, hamburgers, fried chicken, french fries, chicken nuggets, tacos, pizza, and ice cream, although many fast food restaurants offer "slower" foods like chili, mashed potatoes, and salads. McDonald's in the United States will have the same experience as someone visiting a McDonald's in Japan. The interior design, the menu, the speed of service, and the taste of the food will all be very similar. However, some differences do exist to modify to particular cultural differences. I. Introduction Mcdonald’s & Its Global Strategies The purpose of this document is to analyze the existence of McDonald’s Corporation and its Global Strategies.

  • Study of Various Adaptation Policies by Companies to Compete at a Global Scenario
    Global Journal of Finance and Management. ISSN 0975-6477 Volume 6, Number 7 (2014), pp. 615-618 © Research India Publications http://www.ripublication.com Study of Various Adaptation Policies by Companies to Compete At a Global Scenario Amit Verma1, Ananti Gupta2 and Gunjan Nangia3 Jaypee University of Engineering and Technology, Guna Abstract The purpose of the presented paper is to study how the multinational firms or national firm striving to be multinationals are adopting various international strategies to adapt to the local market for competing at a global scenario. Various examples of firms like McDonalds, Kraft’s Foods have been studied, about the different policies they have adapted accordingly by studying the situation of the emerging markets, external environment and internal institutional factors within emerging markets at a global rate. Many have independent and self-sufficient subsidiaries in the range of countries with decentralizing some key functions like R&D, sourcing etc and for others home region is still the primary base for most functions. A basic study is presented for how and what a company must incorporate in its global marketing strategy in a way to complement the differences via coordinating and integrating activities across multiple markets. Also a case study is done on the adaptation policies of McDonalds and Kraft Food across the globe. Keywords: Global Market, Adaptation Policy, McDonalds etc 1.
