“…EU's Farm to Fork Strategy has set the reduction of food loss and waste as an important part of the strategy and proposes to set legally binding targets to reduce food waste across the EU by 2023 (EC, 2022). We, as consumers, can have a direct impact on the food waste problem by paying attention to our own behaviour (Karnai et al, 2021). Make proposals for reduction for each stage/participant in the food chain, for example a free information booklet to provide recycling opportunities for each product (composting, recipe, school programmes, competitions, camps, other alternative options: community composting, etc.).…”

The biggest challenges of our time include meeting the demand growth resulting from the explosion in population growth and achieving sustainable management. In terms of food, the most significant problem is, on the one hand, that a large part of the population is hungry and, on the other hand, excessive food waste, which results not only in wasted food but also in wasted resources used for its production, transport, packaging and storage. Do to this the unconsumed food has a profoundly negative impact on the environment and the economy. There is a pressing need to prevent and reduce food waste to transition to a resource-efficient Europe. In this study, we would like to show how food waste changes in different countries, focusing on Europe. Our results show a significant discrepancy between Member States' data and where waste is generated. We find no significant correlation between GDP per capita and total food waste, but we find a moderately strong correlation between GDP per capita and restaurant waste at the point of generation.

“…Although the significance of competitive sports should not be underestimated, in this study, we still intend to examine the effects of the spread of coronavirus on non-professional and non-competitive grassroots sports and amateur sport activities, practiced for recreation and for the preservation of health. The relationship between sports and COVID-19 is multi-combinational, since sports and a healthy diet, in general, are certainly capable of improving the health of individuals in the first place [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 ], for example, by reducing the risk of appearance of cardiovascular or metabolic diseases, osteoporosis, cancer, obesity, or diabetes [ 43 ]. However, with the advent of COVID-19, the circumstances and conditions related to participating in sports, which had been taken for granted previously, also underwent significant changes.…”

As aging causes challenges in several countries globally, more and more people are suffering from bad health conditions. Nowadays, COVID-19 causes many problems—and one of the root causes of these problems is the isolation of people from each other. The aim of our article is to investigate the effects of COVID-19 on people’s physical activity. Physical activity is strongly correlated with health status and health preservation is very important to minimize the negative effects of the pandemic. In order to investigate this topic, we prepared an extended literature review, citing the most important sources of COVID-related health-preservation issues. Our results showed that the negative economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic have caused a decrease in physical activities in several cases. A reduction in possible physical activities has a potential negative effect on the life expectancies of elderly people. In order to underline the importance of physical activities, we prepared an extended literature review, aiming to summarize the available knowledge related to COVID-19. As a conclusion we recommend to strengthen, maintain, and develop available sporting possibilities for people. The most important of these recommendations is the development of physical activities that are available for free.

“…The electricity network is inaccessible for more than one billion people around the world [51], and the number of starving people is estimated between 720 and 811 million; the prevalence of undernourishment increased to 9.9% in 2020 [52], slowing down the spread of diseases [53], climate change, and related environmental issues that affect all people globally [54] and should be solved simultaneously and within a short time [55]. Food, energy, and environment can be considered the most important global challenges [56].…”

Cost–Benefit Analysis of Kaposvár Solar Photovoltaic Park Considering Agrivoltaic Systems

In the context of the global energy crisis and crucial issues on food, the development and utilization of agrivoltaic (APV) systems could be a way to solve both the energy shortage and agricultural production at the same time and in the same area. As a combination of photovoltaics (PV) and agriculture, agrivoltaics has broad prospects for the future agricultural development of Hungary. Since especially large-scale PV systems can be considered as a potential basis of APV systems, the Kaposvár Solar Power Plant Project in Hungary was analyzed in this study. Two comparative analyses were used: between APV and PV systems, and between APV and apple plantation. An economic model has been developed. The baseline scenario shows that APV systems in current technological and economic conditions are not competitive with PV systems and are also less attractive for agricultural farmers, due to the long return period of the surplus investment cost. By analyzing uncertain factors and seeking possible solutions, the authors’ recommendations for the development, subsidy system and technology might be useful for both farmers and for decision makers to promote APV systems in the future.
