Abstract

Meat has exerted a crucial role in human evolution and is an important component of a healthy and well balanced diet due to its nutritional richness. Meat and meat products represent a substantial source of energy, protein, and crucial micronutrients. Globally, 795 million people suffer from hunger; 2 billion people suffer from micronutrient deficiencies. According to OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2023-2032, it is expected that global average per capita demand for meat will increase by 2%, from the 2020-2022 base period to 2032. This rise in demand will largely be driven by middle-income countries. Fresh and processed meats provide high biological value proteins and important micronutrients.
