Book excerpt: The growth of the global meat industry and the implications for climate change, food insecurity, workers' rights, the treatment of animals, and other issues. Global meat production and consumption have risen sharply and steadily over the past five decades, with per capita meat consumption almost doubling since 1960. The expanding global meat industry, meanwhile, driven by new trade policies and fueled by government subsidies, is dominated by just a few corporate giants. Industrial farming—the intensive production of animals and fish—has spread across the globe. Millions of acres of land are now used for pastures, feed crops, and animal waste reservoirs. Drawing on concrete examples, the contributors to Global Meat explore the implications of the rise of a global meat industry for a range of social and environmental issues, including climate change, clean water supplies, hunger, workers' rights, and the treatment of animals. Three themes emerge from their discussions: the role of government and corporations in shaping the structure of the global meat industry; the paradox of simultaneous rising meat production and greater food insecurity; and the industry's contribution to social and environmental injustice. Contributors address such specific topics as the dramatic increase in pork production and consumption in China; land management by small-scale cattle farmers in the Amazon; the effect on the climate of rising greenhouse gas emissions from cattle raised for meat; and the tensions between economic development and animal welfare.

Download or read book Should We Eat Meat written by Vaclav Smil and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-03-18 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meat eating is often a contentious subject, whether considering the technical, ethical, environmental, political, or health-related aspects of production and consumption. This book is a wide-ranging and interdisciplinary examination and critique of meat consumption by humans, throughout their evolution and around the world. Setting the scene with a chapter on meat’s role in human evolution and its growing influence during the development of agricultural practices, the book goes on to examine modern production systems, their efficiencies, outputs, and impacts. The major global trends of meat consumption are described in order to find out what part its consumption plays in changing modern diets in countries around the world. The heart of the book addresses the consequences of the "massive carnivory" of western diets, looking at the inefficiencies of production and at the huge impacts on land, water, and the atmosphere. Health impacts are also covered, both positive and negative. In conclusion, the author looks forward at his vision of “rational meat eating”, where environmental and health impacts are reduced, animals are treated more humanely, and alternative sources of protein make a higher contribution. Should We Eat Meat? is not an ideological tract for or against carnivorousness but rather a careful evaluation of meat's roles in human diets and the environmental and health consequences of its production and consumption. It will be of interest to a wide readership including professionals and academics in food and agricultural production, human health and nutrition, environmental science, and regulatory and policy making bodies around the world.

Download or read book Marketing Livestock and Meat written by William H Lesser and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1993-04-27 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking volume presents a comprehensive view of the many concerns of those involved with livestock and meat marketing. During the 1980s, livestock production faced some critical changes. Product and feed prices became less stable, cycles lost their century-old patterns, both competition and trade barriers seemed to rise, and market outlets shrank in number and ownership diversity. At the same time, the United States demography became increasingly older, while new and confusing health concerns about red meat arose rapidly. This practical book introduces the reader to a range of issues of the livestock marketing system and looks ahead to such future issues as biotechnology, human health, and food safety. Considerable interest is given to international trade, an increasingly important sector in the market. Marketing Livestock and Meat is a concise and convenient compendium of diverse information. It provides functionaries in the system with an overall concept of how the market functions as a whole to promote better skills and strategies for marketing of red meats. The author describes specific applications vital to successful operation of the complex and far-reaching marketing system of meat and livestock, including international trade, grades and grading, health matters, demand for meat, price reporting and electronic markets, costs and benefits, and their combination into marketing strategies for producers. To supplement the research, theories, and strategies presented in this important book, there are many charts, graphs, and photographs. All persons connected to the marketing of meat and livestock--undergraduate students in North America, foreign students interested in exporting meat to the U. S., and most segments of the livestock sector, including supply and processing firms and retailers--will benefit from this important book.
Download or read book The Livestock and Meat Situation Vol 31 written by U. S. Bureau Of Agricultural Economics and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Livestock and Meat Situation, Vol. 31: September, 1949 September less meat is likely to be sold from storage than in the compa rable month of 1948. Supplies of beef the rest of this year will be influenced on the one hand by the prospective larger number of grain-fed cattle, and on the other hand by the fewer grass cattle, that will be slaughtered this year compared'with last. More cattle have been fed this year than in 1948; on August 1, the increase in the number on feed in the Corn Belt was 24 per cent. Consequently, slaughter of grain-fed cattle this fall will exceed that of last year. How many grass cattle will go to slaughter will be governed mainly by the number of cattle put into feed lots, since sale of twe-way cattle as feeders removes them.from.the immediate supply for slaughter. The most likely prospect is that eattle slaughter will have less of a seasonal peak this fall than usual and that the total number slaughtered in the last months of the year will be slightly smaller'than in the same neriod of 1948. Since weights per head.will be beatier, beef production may be as large or slightly larger than in late 1948.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Livestock and Meat Situation: July, 1950 Output of meat, nowat its seasonal low, 'will increase gradually through the' rest of the year. Production in october-december is expect-p ed to be slightly larger than a year earlier. The gain will be in pork, largely because of the 3 percent increase in the spring pig crop, and in the better grades of beef. The quantity of beef produced from grass cattle probably will be about the same as in the fall of 1949. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Livestock and Meat Situation, Vol. 91: August 1957 If general economic factors affecting cattle remain about as in 1957, numbers might not decrease as long or as far as usual. The low point might come in 1959 or 1960, and at around 92 million head. This is an estimate built on year-to-year projections of cow numbers, calf cr0p and slaughter rate, summary data for which are in table 6. A reduction in cattle inventories begins when prices (current and prospective) are unprofitably low relative to the factors involved in produc tion. Range and feed conditions, costs of purchased feeds, other cost rates, and the availability and cost of financing. Similarly, numbers are built up again when the price outlook is favorable relative to those factors. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Livestock and Meat Situation, Vol. 79: Aug. 15, 1955 Strong demand will likely support prices of feeder cattle this fall. No more than moderate seasonal declines are likely, and margins between prices of feeders and fed cattle are expected to be relatively narrow. As prices of feed will be lower, profits in feeding this coming season may be close to average. Prices of hogs dropped sharply from their June high. Prices through out the fall will be considerably below last fall. They may reach their seasonal low late in the year. Prices of lambs declined in late June and July, and in early August were about the same as a year before. Some further seasonal drop may occur.
