Foodtech

The meat industry is unsustainable, report finds (FoodDive)

  • Meat production at its current levels is unsustainable, according to new research from IDTechEx. Feeding the world's population in 2050, which is expected to hit 10 billion, will require a 70% increase in global food production that will be detrimental to the environment, the report said.

  • The report notes that although meat production is growing by a rate of 2% to 3% per year, it is an inefficient way to produce calories.

Animals account for 17% of global caloric consumption, while plant-based foods supply was 83% of global caloric intake. Just 33% of global protein intake comes from meat and dairy.

Battery technology
