- economic growth
- urbanisation
- rising affluence 
= these would result in an increase demand in convenient and processed foods as well as meat and dairy products 
- latest changes include the pandemic --> covid outbreaks in meat supplies would result in a decrease in demand as people would be more reluctant to buy.

Producing meet consumes high amounts of energy and crops, leading to the increase of GHGs and more land being cleared

Meat consumption is responsible for releasing greenhouse gases such as methane, CO2, and nitrous oxide. These gases contribute to climate change, such as global warming. Livestock farming contributes to these greenhouse gases in several ways: The destruction of forest ecosystems.

This is because the consumption of meat is reliant on prices, so as they decrease in price and become more affordable with improvements in productivity and technology in farms, there is increased demand for meat. Moreover, economic growth, urbanization and rising affluence of a westernized diet including more meat also leads to this change in diet in MICs.]]> 2021-10-15 04:36:06 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/5z3mgca05q53aljh/wish/1818885903 Sean https://padlet.com/list4/5z3mgca05q53aljh/wish/1818886840
  • Decline in meat prices
    • more efficient farming methods create more supply.
    • Increased levels of urbanisation
    • Economic growth
    linked with more money for importing meat to meet consumer demand
    • Increased affluence - more disposable income per household
    meat is generally more expensive than vegetable and grain products
