Abstract

Background : Humanâ€™s life style has changed dramatically over the time. The consumption of meat and meat production has increased radically through out the world. Global demand for food is expected to increase by 70 % by 2050(FAO, 2009). This excessive growth in meat production/consumption brings several impacts on environmental resources. The paper discusses change in peopleâ€™s lifestyle and consumption pattern of non veg food all over the world .The consequences of meat production (live stock farming) on water, land use, rain forest and climate change are discussed. Materials and methods: Data from U.S Department of Agriculture, Foreign Agriculture Service, 2010 is used for meat consumption analysis. Global data of 1965-2005 obtained from the U.N.
