Global Trends of Meat Production and Consumption
Abstract
Global meat production and consumption have important implications on health, nutrition, and the environment. The objective of this paper is to review the total meat production and consumption, the global trend of meat production and consumption, and also review factors affecting meat production and meat consumption. From this review, the World is producing a total of 337 million tones at an increasing rate. The world is majorly producing its total meat from Poultry, Pig, Bovine, and ovine. Currently, about 122.5, 121.1, 71.2, and 14.9 million tons of total meat is produced from poultry, pig, Bovine, and ovine respectively. The majority of global total meat is dependent on poultry and pig with an increasing trend. Increased economies, Urbanization, population growth social dynamics, and technological advancement are strong factors that affect meat production and consumption. Therefore, meat production and consumption are continuing to increase around the globe since meat is an important and rich source of protein.
