As the world population rises, the demand for meat, eggs and dairy products is soaring in developing countries. The Worldwatch Institute warns that without safeguards the demand could strain the environment and pose public health risks.
Over the last 30 years, the number of farm animals—and that includes both four-footed livestock like cattle, pigs, goats and sheep, as well as poultry, like chickens—has increased about 23 percent. So now we have about 20 billion farm animals worldwide.
There are two main reasons for the increase. First, it is the urbanization and rising incomes particularly in developing and emerging countries. China, Brazil, India—they’ve all seen their middle class or consumer class rise over the last 30 years. And what tends to happen when people have a little bit more money to spend is they spend it on higher quality food. They tend to buy more milk or cheese or meat.
3 What is the possible consequence of increasing demand for meat?
4 Why does the number of farm animals increase?
选项
A、Fewer meat products will go to developed countries.
B、Both environment and public health will be threatened.
C、People’s income will decrease in developing countries.
D、The pace of urbanization will slow down a bit.
答案
