In other words, globally most cows are ''already'' fed mostly non-human-edible matter, but beef and dairy production are fairly low. | In other words, globally most cows are ''already'' fed mostly non-human-edible matter, but beef and dairy production are fairly low. | ||
<!-- TODO: | Chicken and pig consumption is moderate, but even this level requires [[:File:food-funnel.png|36% of human-edible calories to be fed to animals]]. | ||
<!-- Just think how much higher this would be if the whole world ate as much animal protein as the average "first world" citizen. --> | |||
<!-- TODO: uncomment the above line after adding data about how much animal protein is eaten in particular countries. | |||
There are a few ways it could be presented: | |||
* isochromic world map: population, animal protein consumption, crop land, pasture land. But since we can't fit 4 things perfectly, we have to decide how to compromise. | |||
* Add code to [[Code:food2.sql]] to calculate "total protein from ruminants" and "total protein from other animals", globally and also by region. | |||
** If we don't want to list too many regions, could just do a general 'OECD aggregate'. Not sure how practical this is with the input data tho. | |||
** If we're already using [[Code:food2.sql]], might as well also have it replace the inline calculations for status quo. | |||
*** Although isn't it nicer to have specific stats for cows, chickens, pigs? | |||
**** How about just write "total protein from ruminants (cows, sheep, goats, buffalo)" and "total protein from non-ruminants (chickens, pigs, etc)"? | |||
Should there also be some mention of [[fish]]? Should we just declare that it's (currently?) not in the scope of the analysis? | |||

<!-- btw, should we fit this in somewhere: | |||
: how do some countries manage to eat more beef/dairy: | |||
: * either by already having a lot of pasture land (i.e. australia) | |||
: * or by destroying wildlife to make new pasture (i.e. brazil) | |||
: * or by growing enormous amounts of corn and soy, which could have been fed to humans instead (i.e. usa and also brazil) | |||
