Food has many hidden costs：huge volumes of water，energy use and land degradation(退化)．

　　Consumers add their own costs by simply throwing away a lot of food.The figures for food waste in the West are staggering.

　　To solve this problem of public ignorance about food，Cribb suggests that food should be taught as a subject at primary school.This would help to create a future generation that could better deal with the world's coming food challenges.This powerful measure can help to raise a generation of educated consumers，more productive farmers，and so on.

　　Cribb offers other solutions and suggestions as well.One is to increase the funding for agricultural science，which has been falling by the wayside in recent years.He suggests organic farming should be understood on a scientific basis，changing people's thinking to one of a new form of “environmental agriculture”to get the very best out of organic farming systems.He says we should stop wasting food and learn how to grow food more cheaply.We should use less water，as water is one of the main inputs into food production.Cribb also suggests eating more fruit and vegetables.

　　26．In the second paragraph，one problem of the food system in developed countries is ________.

　　A．increasing ignorance about the means of food production

　　B．an increasing number of people moving to city centres
