About
This data captures the worldwide growth of total meat production over several decades, highlighting the scale of the global food system challenge. Meat consumption continues to rise globally, exceeding 350 million tonnes annually, placing immense pressure on natural resources. Production contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, strains agricultural land, and consumes large volumes of freshwater. This dataset allows for the analysis of these trends, providing essential context for developing sustainable practices in food production and managing land use effectively.
Columns
