Resumen
Descripción
During the past three decades, a rapid global expansion in production and consumption of animal products has led to a so-called “livestock revolution”, driven by population and income growth coupled with urbanization. Cheap, often subsidized feed grain, cheap fuel and rapid technological change, particularly in poultry, pork and dairy production, have accelerated the sector’s growth to such an extent that it is expected to provide 50 percent of global agricultural output in value terms in the next ten years.
