Scope & content | Reducing feed wastage – Improving livestock performance By Wiebke Pirsich, Marketing Manager, Provita supplements According to calculations of the FAO the global demand for food will increase sharply in the next decades. This is mainly due to a significant global population growth. But also changing nutrition habits in emerging and developing markets play a major role. Therefore, the demand for grain and other traditional basic foods will shift towards animal protein based foods as meat, fish, egg and dairy products. However, since livestock production consumes large quantities of grains as feedstuffs, the overall demand for grain will increase enormously. According to the FAO, grain production would have to be extended from currently 2.1 billion tonnes by approximately one billion, in order to meet the global demand in 2050. Crucial for an expansion of grain production is the availability of cropland and water, energy supply, climate change, new agricultural and technological developments and access to finance resources.
