RESUMEN TFG CASTELLANO Este estudio trata de analizar el desperdicio alimentario que se da actualmente en cada una de las fases de la cadena de suministro alimentario. Inicialmente, se exponen los factores y hechos que han influido en los hábitos de consumo así como en la conciencia de los consumidores finales alterando así la producción y distribución de alimentos en general. Más tarde, se analiza la situación actual de los tres sectores sobre los que se lleva a cabo el estudio, que son el sector de la agricultura, concretamente el hortofrutícola, el sector ganadero y el sector pesquero. Posteriormente, se lleva a cabo un análisis para saber exactamente dónde, cómo y cuánta cantidad de alimento se desperdicia en cada uno de estos tres sectores. Por último, se expondrán diferentes conclusiones y propuestas con el fin de poner remedio a los diferentes problemas analizados anteriormente.

[EN] The intense industrial activity that took place over the past century resulted in large contaminated áreas. This is an important risk to human health and environmental safety. Recent biotechnological techniques for bioremediation include phytoremediation, which uses plants to remove or stabilize contaminants in soils. In our study we choose birch (Betula alba) as the preferred species to remedy mining soils, due to it produces a large biomass and can accumulate high levels of toxic elements in its tissues. The aim of this study was (i) to determine the possibility of using this species in reforestation and/or remediation of mining soils (ii) to elucidate the potential of tocopherol levels as indicators of heavy metal pollution. Trees growing in mining soils with high concentrations of Zn, Cd and Pb were sampled and the metal content in various organs and in tree rings was analyzed. α-tocoferol levels were also analyzed as an indicator of stress. The results showed a different distribution of metals in plant tissues. Zn and Cd had a higher accumulation in leaves, whereas Pb was stored in the timber. In addition, the metal content in tree rings was higher in older rings, leading to a conclusion that older tissues present a detoxification strategy. Furthermore, we saw how the presence of α- tocoferol on branches can be an indicator of metal stress in plants and it can be also used as a monitoring factor.
