Question

For growing populations in developing countries, explain why the transition from eating grains to eating meat is challenging the global agribusiness system.

Answer 1

A trend is seen in developing countries that people are transitioning from eating grains to eating meat which can be a challenge for the global agribusiness system.

This is so because due to more consumption of meat, the quantity of food or crops produced is more than needed and sell at very lower prices which affects the agribusiness system. People are finding meat as healthier (protein source) and chemical-free and consuming it for health benefits, that left the grains and crop market at a lower price.

Hence, eating meat is a challenge for the global agribusiness system.
