Book Description
Current levels of meat consumption in the EU are unsustainably high. One potential policymeasure to address this problem is the introduction of a Pigouvian tax to internalize negativeeffects of meat consumption on the environment and public health. Since such a tax has not yetbeen introduced in any country, assessing the effects of such a tax ex-ante is useful to evaluateits potential effectiveness. By performing fixed effects regressions, I analyze the responsivenessof EU consumers' meat demand to changes in meat prices and income. Furthermore, I explorethe influence of other factors on meat demand such as demographics, urbanization and incomeinequality. I find beef to be most and pork to be least responsive to price changes, with all typesof meat being both price and income inelastic. Furthermore, a tax on meat consumption mightreduce total demand in the EU by up to 5.13 kg per capita, which is a reduction of 7.68%.Related greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture might thus be reduced by up to 12.55%.

Book Description
Meat and dairy production and consumption are in crisis. Globally, 70 billion farm animals are used for food production every year. It is well accepted that livestock production is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) predicts a rough doubling of meat and milk consumption in the first half of the 21st century, with particularly rapid growth occurring in the developing economies of Asia. What will this mean for the health and wellbeing of those animals, of the people who consume ever larger quantities of animal products, and for the health of the planet itself? The new edition of this powerful and challenging book explores the impacts of the global growth in the production and consumption of meat and dairy, including cultural and health factors, and the implications of the likely intensification of farming for both small-scale producers and for animals. Several chapters explore the related environmental issues, from resource use of water, cereals and soya, to the impact of livestock production on global warming and issues concerning biodiversity, land use and the impacts of different farming systems on the environment. A final group of chapters addresses ethical and policy implications for the future of food and livestock production and consumption. Since the first edition, published in 2010, all chapters have been updated, three original chapters re-written and six new chapters added, with additional coverage of dietary effects of milk and meat, antibiotics in animal production, and the economic, political and ethical dimensions of meat consumption. The overall message is clearly that we must eat less meat to help secure a more sustainable and equitable world.
