Livestock production worldwide is increasing rapidly, in part due
to economic growth and demand for meat in industrializing
countries. Yet there are many concerns about the sustainability of
increased meat production and consumption, from perspectives
including human health, animal welfare, climate change and
environmental pollution. This book tackles the key issues of
contemporary meat production and consumption through a lens of
political ecology, which emphasizes the power relations producing
particular social, economic and cultural interactions with
non-human nature. Three main topics are addressed: the political
ecology of global livestock production trends; changes in
production systems around the world and their implications for
environmental justice; and existing and emerging governance
strategies for meat production and consumption systems and their
implications. Case studies of different systems at varying scales
are included, drawn from Asia, Africa, the Americas and Europe. The
book includes an editorial introduction to set the context and
synthesize key messages for the reader.
