ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF MEAT PRODUCTION | Primary Production/Meat and the EnvironmentThe demand for animal products is predicted to double by 2050 and already today, the global livestock sector is one of the top two or three most significant contributors to some of the most urgent environmental ...
Thus the bulk of the growth in meat is predicted to occur in developing countries, with China, India and Brazil already representing two thirds of current meat production.ScollanMoranScollan N, Moran D. The environmental impact of meat production systems. Rep to ... 2010;(July 2010):65.Sco...
Livestock production as a contributing factor of global warming has become a critical aspect of policy development among scientists, institutions, governments, and societies. Improving the animal farms performance in the several countries is a key strate
“[There’s] the possibility to use that land for plant-based protein production, nature and extra renewable energy production, which in turn influences the CO2 emissions of cultivated meat,” he says.Depending on the scenario, cultivated meat can have either a higher...

Importantly, the cumulative pressure per unit of food production (efficiency) varies spatially for each food type such that rankings of foods by efficiency differ sharply among countries. These disparities provide the foundation for efforts to steer consumption towards lower-impact foods and ultimately ...
The modern food system is characterized with high environmental impact, which is in many cases associated with increased rates of animal production and overconsumption. The adoption of alternatives to meat proteins (insects, plants, mycoprotein, microalgae, cultured meat, etc.) might potentially influe...
The message from the study is "whenever possible try to replace beef with other sources of protein from animal sources," said Eshel, who said he doesn't eat meat now but used to raise cattle on a kibbutz in Israel. Nutrition scientists Marion Nestle at New York University and Malden Neshei...
To date, impact reductions have focused on food production processes, however eating patterns, the drivers behind production demand, need to also be understood3. For example, the growing trend of Western eating patterns, typically characterized by high meat intakes, are associated with high climate ...
"How quickly these shifts occur and how large they will be remains to be seen, but companies that have traditionally focused on producing large quantities of meat may have to shift towards producing more 'premium' products with low environmental impact and/or plant-based alternatives to remain co...
