Moreover, the efficiency of meat production varies depending on the specific production system, as well as the type of feed. It may require anywhere from 0.9 and 7.9 kilograms of grain to produce 1 kilogram of beef, between 0.1 to 4.3 kilograms of grain to produce 1 kilogram of pork, and 0 to 3.5 kilograms of grains to produce 1 kilogram of ...
The observed adverse impacts on livestock production include increased heat stress in all but the coldest nations. [6] [7] This causes both mass animal mortality during heatwaves, and the sublethal impacts, such as lower quantity of quality of products like milk, greater vulnerability to conditions like lameness or even impaired reproduction. [3]
The ethical reasons for avoiding meat and dairy products include how dairy is produced, how the animals are handled, and the environmental effect of dairy production. [42] [43] According to a report of the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization in 2010 the dairy sector accounted for 4 percent of global human-made greenhouse gas ...
Agriculture in Kenya dominates Kenya's economy. [1] 15–17 percent of Kenya's total land area has sufficient fertility and rainfall to be farmed, and 7–8 percent can be classified as first-class land. [2] [3] In 2006, almost 75 percent of working Kenyans made their living by farming, compared with 80 percent in 1980. [2]
Climate change is posing an increasing threat to global socioeconomic development and environmental sustainability. [4] Developing countries with low adaptive capacity and high vulnerability to the phenomenon are disproportionately affected. Climate change in Kenya is increasingly impacting the lives of Kenya's citizens and the environment. [4]
Why there’s debate. Proponents of lab-grown meat envision a future where the world can enjoy all of the same foods they’ve always loved in a climate-friendly, cruelty-free way.
During Kenya's colonial era (1895–1963), elephant and rhino hunting was viewed as an elite sport by British colonizers. [9] Post-independent Kenya saw a decrease in over half of the elephant population during the period of 1970 to 1977, [10] even though the country banned elephant hunting in 1973. In 1977, all animal hunting was banned in Kenya.
The large environmental impact of agriculture – such as its greenhouse gas emissions, soil degradation, deforestation and pollinator decline effects – make the food system a critical set of processes that need to be addressed for climate change mitigation and a stable healthy environment. A sustainable food system is a type of food system ...
