Our food has a political and ethical dimension and constantly raises questions about our responsibility. After the 2013 Meat Atlas showed the impact of Europe's meat consumption on emerging and developing countries and on the climate, the 2014 Meat Atlas sheds light on the “big business” of meat – from Europe and the US to the emerging economies of China and India.
How many animals are slaughtered annually in Germany and worldwide? Who profits from cheap meat? Which hormones end up on our plates unintentionally, and how many pesticides are used?
The Meat Atlas 2014 serves up new topics related to meat consumption in twenty short essays and shows that alternatives to large-scale industrial meat production are possible.
