The experts from the Centre for Research and Forecasting London, warned of the impending threat to the ecology of the planet, from actively growing livestock pigs in China.
The problem is that the Chinese pig sharply increased the number of his animals. For their contents consumed 50% of the harvested forage crops world. As a result, the country that specialize in their cultivation, increase the acreage – mostly the territory of the Amazon jungle, known as the “lungs of the planet».
British experts presented data that show that today every Chinese person eats 39 kg pork per year. This is more of an average resident of the USA and 5 times higher than normal Chinese citizen in 1979.
The total number of pigs grown in China is 500 million individuals. On their content spent $ 22 million, or about $ 37 per animal.
With this growth to increase the number of pigs in China, the world will be faced with the problem of ecological disaster.
Scientists propose a number of ways to address the problem. Among the most effective: the replacement of pork in “high places” on a different kind of product – for example soy. True it will not please the Chinese.
Also, it is possible to develop new, innovative ways to feed crops, which must be financed villages / households sector of Latin American countries. Or create a new kind of food in vitro, although there is a danger that it will affect the quality of the meat.
