World population has increased 133% since 1960 while food production has increased 237% due to factors like rural to urban migration, improved life expectancy, and rising incomes. However, inefficiencies remain in the supply chain between producers and consumers. China is now the largest meat producer in the world while the US and Brazil have grains to feed their animals. Brazil accounts for 11% of global meat production with less than 3% of the world's population. Growth in Brazilian agricultural production will come from converting degraded pastures, intensifying livestock production, and using new technologies. This will help meet rising demand from China's social inclusion plan to lift 440 million people out of poverty by 2022.
