And things could get much worse in the coming years, as dairy milk and beef global production is increasing every year. Indeed, the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) & the FAO Agricultural Outlook 2017-2027 even projects a significant increase of 22% to the reference period (2015-2017) for dairy production. The increase in production for beef should reach 7% in developed countries and up to 20% in developing countries according to the report. This trend is mainly attributed to diets globalisation, growing population and incomes.




- Smaller methane production by cows
- Less feed is consumed to produce the same amount of milk and meat
- Smaller cattle can produce the same amount of milk and meat
