Global meat production is projected to increase from 269 million metric tons in 2010 to 323 million metric tons in 2020, driven by population growth, urbanization, and rising incomes in developing countries like China and India. This will lead to greater demand for feed grains like coarse grains and oilseeds, increasing their production by 16-18% according to projections. Increased meat consumption, especially in Asia, as well as the use of crops for biofuels, could put pressure on food prices and contribute to increased food price volatility towards 2020. Environmental and resource challenges also loom from factors like declining arable land, water scarcity, and climate change impacts on agriculture.

1. The document discusses the main challenges facing the global meat production system over the next 20 years. It notes that while food production has generally kept pace with population growth, issues around food distribution, hunger, and environmental sustainability remain.
2. Key trends that will shape the meat industry include population and economic growth, urbanization, constraints on land and water resources, and increasing demands for health, food safety, and animal welfare. Global meat production, especially of poultry and pork, will need to increase substantially to meet these demands.
3. Major meat importing and exporting countries are identified. Brazil is projected to be the largest meat exporter by 2019 due to strong growth in beef, poultry, and pork
The effect of meat consumption on the environmentmlieber
The document discusses the effect of meat consumption on the environment. It notes that the world population is projected to increase to over 9 billion people by 2050 requiring 70% more food production. Currently, livestock accounts for around 30% of global land use and is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, responsible for approximately 18% of total global emissions. Raising livestock, especially cattle, requires significantly more resources than producing plant-based foods.
The predictions for protein demand and its impacts on meat production is going to require extraordinary innovation. The global population is predicted to reach 9 billion by 2050, both demand and prices for meat are set to double, and analysts predict demand will outpace

This document discusses several issues related to antibiotic use in agriculture and human medicine. It notes that antibiotics are added to animal feed as growth promoters but are not included in retail food prices or analyses of productivity. This can lead to externalities like resource depletion, pollution, and increased health costs. The overuse of antibiotics in agriculture also contributes to the spread of antibiotic resistance, reducing the effectiveness of antibiotics for human medical treatment.
Consumer research shows that up to 40% of meat eaters are looking to reduce their meat consumption. Increasingly we hear consumers referencing sustainability as a driver of this. Companies, schools and restaurants are continually asking us for help in replacing meat on their menus.
In ‘The Future of Food’ review (pages 6-11) we highlight three global issues:
1. An unsustainable increase in demand for meat as populations grow in number and wealth.
2. Significant environmental impacts from the production of meat – at least 14% of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions coming from livestock1
3. Major health issues associated with over consumption of meat – heart disease, Type 2 Diabetes and obesity are now of serious concern in most developed economies.
This report provides a reminder of these issues and how Quorn can play a part in resolving the problems. In addition to the clear environmental benefits compared with animal-based protein, we also continue to seek to improve the sustainability of what we do. 2016 saw us invest in many initiatives which are highlighted in the report and we are continuing to do so in 2017.
This document discusses plans for launching a new clean meat product. It outlines the problems with the current meat industry and benefits of clean meat such as being more sustainable and having less environmental impact. It then discusses the target market of younger women and plans for promotion through social media, conferences, food trucks and YouTube. Finally, it provides details on pricing, margins, and an initial $50,000 investment needed for marketing and production costs.

This document summarizes research on urban and rural household food consumption in Senegal. It finds that while urban diets are more diverse, both urban and rural populations experience deficiencies in important nutrients like calcium, iron, zinc, folate, vitamin B12, and vitamin A. The remotest areas have the lowest nutrient adequacy, especially for calcium, iron, and vitamin B12. Cost-effective alternatives to address deficiencies are identified, including processed grains, eggs, milk, and sweet potatoes. The research concludes hidden hunger is a problem in Senegal and policies should focus on lowering prices in undernourished areas.

This document summarizes the impacts and sustainability issues with industrial meat production, and evaluates the potential market size for meat alternatives. It finds that meat production has significant environmental impacts including large carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions, pollution from fertilizer and manure runoff, and destruction of forests for grazing land. Meat production also faces issues regarding overuse of antibiotics, animal welfare concerns, and public health risks. The document estimates that meat production will become unsustainable by 2050 at projected consumption rates due to high resource intensity. It evaluates the total addressable market for meat alternatives if production is shifted to more sustainable plant-based and cultivated meat sources.
The document summarizes trends in India's livestock sector. It notes that the livestock population has increased between 2000-2010 for cows/buffaloes, sheep, goats, pigs and poultry. India is the largest milk producer in the world and its poultry sector is growing rapidly. The livestock sector provides income and employment for rural communities and is an important source of manure and fuel. It contributes significantly to India's economy and food security.

‘Scenarios for Policy: Transforming Farming, Landscape and Food Systems for the 21st Century’ was a side event held at the Hunger for Action Conference: 2nd Global Conference on Agriculture, Food Security and Climate Change. This session, coordinated by the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) considered future policy options for the major transformative changes needed in farming, landscapes and food systems to make climate-smart agriculture a reality.
This document discusses India's population growth, pressures on natural resources, food demand projections, and strategies for increasing agricultural productivity to feed the growing population in a sustainable manner. Some key points:
- India's population is projected to grow significantly from 547 million in 1961 to over 1.6 billion in 2051, placing increasing pressure on land and water resources.
- Domestic food demand is projected to nearly double by 2050 under various scenarios due to population and income growth.
- Strategies to meet this growing demand in a sustainable way include increasing land, water and labor productivity 4-6 times through improved technologies and practices.
The global livestock sector: Opportunities and challengesILRI
The global livestock sector faces many challenges in sustainably meeting the growing demand for food while balancing trade-offs between efficiency, livelihoods, and the environment. Key issues include climate change, water and land scarcity, disease risks, and debates around large versus small-scale production systems. Addressing these complex challenges will require reliable assessments of hard trade-offs and achieving equity across scales from local to global.
Brazilian pig meat production: past, present and futureLuciano Roppa
Brazilian pork production has grown 18% over the last 10 years, driven by a 19% increase in internal consumption. Production is becoming more concentrated, with the top 10 producers now accounting for 58% of the market. Hog farming is also shifting to more integrated production systems and moving to central regions of Brazil. Efficiency has increased through improvements like higher piglets born and weaned per sow. However, rising grain prices have increased production costs. The future of Brazilian pork production looks to include further consolidation, more vertical integration, higher efficiency standards, and a focus on sustainability and meeting consumer demands for food safety and animal welfare.
This document summarizes the progress of agriculture in India between 1951 and 2011, highlighting the Green, White, and Blue Revolutions that led to major increases in foodgrain, milk, and fish production. It also discusses ongoing challenges around malnutrition, climate change impacts, and the need for continued investment in agriculture research and development to sustain gains and ensure food security. Key priorities include making growth more inclusive to reduce poverty and inequality, adapting to and managing climate risks, and taking a systems-based approach to achieve comprehensive nutrition security.

Our Industry 2014 is packed with insights and useful facts, graphs and images from Syngenta and many external sources. It covers the global challenges relating to food security and includes sections on the major crops and on advances in agricultural technology.
1) The document discusses global food security and agricultural productivity trends from 1950-2050.
2) It notes that from 1950-2000, called the "Age of Abundance", global food supply grew faster than demand, keeping prices low due to steady productivity gains.
3) Looking ahead to 2050, it estimates global food demand will need to increase 1.3% annually, and questions whether productivity can continue growing fast enough to meet this demand sustainably.
Aquaculture for food, nutrition, and livelihoods for poor: a reality for fut...WorldFish
This document discusses how aquaculture can help meet future food demand and improve nutrition and livelihoods for the poor. The global population is projected to increase by 2030 and demand for food is expected to rise 35% by then. Currently, aquaculture production meets around half of global fish consumption and will need to grow substantially to close the projected supply-demand gap of 28 million tons by the mid-2020s. Achieving this rapid growth faces challenges including improving resource efficiency, disease management, and genetics. However, with transformations to food systems and regionalized approaches, aquaculture has great potential to be a sustainable solution for the future if production focuses on affordable, nutritious foods especially in Africa.
This document discusses pathways toward a sustainable future. It outlines several megatrends such as rising populations, increasing life expectancy, and shifting global economic power. Issues covered include resource constraints, climate change, water scarcity, and environmental degradation. A vision for 2050 aims to double agricultural output and freshwater supply while halving carbon emissions. Realizing this will require widespread adoption of sustainability best practices and technologies through collaboration between business, governments, and society. Self-organization and global connectivity may help proliferate affordable transformations toward a more sustainable world.
The document provides an analysis of India's economic growth. It summarizes key indicators such as GDP growth projected at 8-8.2% annually through 2012, with per capita income of $3,319 ranking India 129th globally. Industries like manufacturing and IT-ITES are growing at double digits, while agriculture and infrastructure development face challenges of low mechanization and funding respectively. Inflation and economic stability remain concerns for sustaining growth into the future.

Biofuels, Poverty and Food Security: Micro-evidence from Ethiopia essp2
1) A study analyzed the impact of a castor outgrower scheme in Ethiopia on farm household decisions and food security.
2) Preliminary results from an endogenous switching regression model found that participation in castor production was positively associated with owned land size and a pre-program asset indicator, and negatively associated with the proportion of the household's labor force.
3) For participating households, higher crop income was associated with more land, extension visits, and media access, while non-participating households saw higher income with a larger labor force and non-agricultural income sources.
This document discusses the integration of agricultural and energy markets and the effects on food security. It notes that rising global population and incomes are increasing both food and energy demand. Agricultural production relies on energy for inputs like fertilizer and machinery, so higher energy prices increase food costs. The growth of biofuels also competes for agricultural land and feedstocks. Ensuring adequate, affordable food supplies will require balancing food, energy and environmental needs.

28. To reduce Food losses …
One-third of the edible parts of food produced for human consumption,
gets lost or wasted globally, which is about 1.3 billion ton per year
We need to reduce the current Food losses:
Meat 20%
Cereals 30%

30. THE FOOD SAFETY CHALLENGE
Over the past 15 years, laboratory equipments
developed detections from ppm (parts per million)
to ppq (parts per quadrillion)
Additional legislation will affect the feed sector, including
environmental protection, feed hygiene and food-safety issues
Companies will only source feed, ingredients & additives
from suppliers with world-class food safety practices.
L. Roppa Consulting
31. THE RAW MATERIAL CHALLENGE
Raw material will increase their prices and some of them will be less available …
• Search for local and cheaper raw material alternatives
• Increasing usage of synthetic forms of essential Amino Acids
• Greater accuracy in dietary macronutrient and micronutrient provision (NIR)
• A more efficient conversion of by-products (rich in NSP) into high quality food
will remain a top priority area of research in the future (enzymes)
L. Roppa Consulting
32. THE EFFICIENCY CHALLENGE
The restricting or even banning of anti-infective is likely to continue ...
Growing demand for nutritional ideas, technologies and additives
that improve feed efficiency
Anti Oxidants Enzymes
Prebiotics (MOSS) Organic Minerals
Probiotics Essential oils
Mycotoxin Binders Immune stimulators
Acidifiers Synthetic Amino Acids
