Title: Meats, Feeds

Overview
  • Meat consumption is growing worldwide
  • Pork and chicken consumption increasing worldwide
  • Beef consumption declining in developed
    countries, but increasing in developing countries
  • Feed and Subsistence Crops compete for land and
    for consumption calories
  • Beef, rice, and cassava illustrate important
    trade, development and environment linkages

Beef Production
Source Clay (2004)
4
International Beef Trade
  • 23 of world production is exported and trade is
    growing
  • Major Exporters
  • Boneless Australia, US, New Zealand, Ireland
    Canada
  • Bone In Germany, France, US, Netherlands,
    Ukraine
  • US is a major producer and exporter, but is a net
    importer

Environmental Consequences
  • Increasing pastures on marginal lands leads to
    deforestation, desertification and biodiversity
    loss
  • Rapid expansion of feedlot production
  • Increases consumption of cereal harvest (33 of
    cereals consumed by animals)
  • Increases air and water pollution in surrounding
    areas
  • Increases risk of disease outbreaks in herds and
    humans
  • Concentration of processing (slaughter,
    meatpacking and tanning)
  • Large amounts of organic waste
  • Chemical waste

Rice Production
  • About 11 of the worlds cultivated land grows
    rice
  • Major Producers
  • India (44.8 million hectares), China (30.3
    million hectares), Indonesia, Bangladesh,
    Vietnam, Thailand
  • Green revolution technologies greatly increased
    productivity of irrigated paddies in the 1970s
  • 55 of the worlds production area is irrigated,
    but this produces 75 of the worlds rice

Source FAO (2002) cited in Clay (2004)
7
Rice Consumption
  • Over 90 of the worlds rice is grown and
    consumed in Asia
  • 50 of the total calories consumed in Asia come
    from rice 25 of total calories in the world
    come from rice

International Rice Trade
  • Small compared to local consumption
  • 4 of world production is exported
  • Largest Exporters
  • Thailand, Vietnam, China, USA, Pakistan, India
  • Market dominated by large mills and international
    companies
  • Vertical integration
  • Oriented for urban consumption and export markets
  • Overall export amount increased, but value
    decreased 1961-2000

Environmental Impacts of Rice
  • Highest negative impact associated with Green
    Revolution production
  • Salinization, pesticide and herbicide overuse,
    lowering biodiversity and increasing crop
    vulnerability
  • Extensification and conversion of land for rice
    paddies limits future land use (likely to grow
    with increasing population size)
  • Large knowledge base indicates existence of
    environmentally friendly, cost effective, small
    farmer-friendly production processes

Cassava
  • Important source of calories for many people in
    the developing world
  • Miracle crop
  • Drought- and pest-resistant and poor-soil
    tolerant
  • Negative effects
  • Potential to degradation soil through erosion
  • Can cause thyroid problems
  • Producers Nigeria, Brazil, Thailand, Indonesia,
    Dem. Republic of Congo
  • 9 of world production is exported

World Meat Consumption

Beef Consumption
  • World consumption is rising
  • Developed nations stable or declining dates
  • Developing nations driving world increases
  • Population growth, urbanization, lower real
    prices, income growth

Source FAO (2002) cited in Clay (2004)
16
Social Considerations
  • Health considerations
  • Heart disease and cancer
  • Antibiotic resistant bacteria for humans too
  • Growth hormones
  • Disease outbreaks

Source Clay (2004)
17
Social Considerations of Rice
  • External trade conditions and local politics work
    to keep rice prices very low
  • Large multinational trading companies can operate
    on small margins and still make large profits
  • Local states and urban centers in developing
    countries structure markets to depress rice
    prices
  • Consequently, small rice farmers face adverse
    economic situations in good and bad economic
    times
  • Environmentally friendly practices would help
    small farmers survive
