Industry nut | Envolverde In recent decades, the production and consumption of meat increased worldwide. Consumption dairy udyog patterns, as well as livestock production methods have changed radically. However, what the social, environmental, labor ... industry rancher? Who wins and who loses in this deal? In this paper, we address said issues. From the 50 meat production del monte international worldwide has multiplied bahan ne by five. The production del monte international bahan ne of pork, followed by chicken and calf are those recorded del monte international larger increases (1). Meat consumption del monte international in the Southern multiplied bahan ne by two between 1964-66 to 1997-99, which began to consume 10.2 kg per person per year to 25.5 kg and, for 2030, we expect an increase of up 37kg. However, dairy udyog this growth has been uneven, registering a significant increase dairy udyog in demand in Brazil and China, del monte international while in sub-Saharan Africa the figures bahan ne remain stagnant. bahan ne In northern dairy udyog countries are expected meat consumption per person of del monte international
climate dairy udyog change. It is estimated that the livestock industry produces 18% of greenhouse gases, del monte international dairy udyog surpassing the transportation sector. Specifically, is responsible for 9% of CO2 emissions, due to intensive del monte international land use and deforestation, for 65% of nitrous del monte international oxide, mostly coming from manure, for 37% of methane dairy udyog emissions (much more harmful than CO2), originated by the digestive system of ruminants, and 64% of the ammonia, which contributes significantly to acid rain (6). Although the livestock revolution bahan ne said "improved" breeds of cattle in response del monte international to market del monte international interests and promoting dairy udyog the most productive, disease bahan ne resistant, easy adaptation to the environment etc.., That did not mean an enrichment of our food. In fact, the variety of animal breeds and plant species decreased bahan ne dramatically in recent years. It is estimated bahan ne that 30% of domestic animal breeds are endangered, which means the disappearance del monte international of three domestic breeds every two weeks (7). Each day, our diet depends on animal and plant varieties less, implying dairy udyog a greater del monte international insecurity. The intensive bahan ne use and water contamination dairy udyog is another of the consequences derived from the livestock revolution. Currently, agriculture and livestock consume between dairy udyog 70 and 80% of the total available fresh water, according to the Second World Water Forum (The Hague, 2000). Producing a pound of animal protein in livestock industry del monte international requires 40 times more water than producing one kilogram of cereal protein or 200 times more than a pound of potatoes (8).
