Globally, the demand for animal-based protein is increasing. The UN
have predicted that this demand for meat will increase by 75% between
now and 2050. This is in part due to an increase in wealth in countries
such as China and India. This wealth means more meat on the tables of
homes across these nations.
But eating meat at this rate, isn’t sustainable.
What Is Sustainable Food
The definition of sustainable is, ‘a system that maintains its own viability by using techniques that allow for continual reuse”.
So in terms of food, it relates to food that can be produced using fewer resources, using a system that can be maintained and is viable. The problem is, at the moment the world’s food producers aren’t that good at sustainability.
