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.
