Discuss the contributions in the amount of food made by plants and animals to the food
supply of human societies. Give specific numbers in your discussion (Table 1- 4). -
ANSWER-Plant supply is 83% of calories consumed in the world. This is mainly
because of the large plant-based diet of developing countries. Animal's produce 17% of
calories consumed by the world, although, it is a much more important protein than
plant-based.
Discuss the contributions in the amount of protein that animal products contribute to the
human food supply. Give specific numbers in your discussion. - ANSWER-Animals
supply 38.5% of the protein consumed by humans all over the world. Meat and edible
offals provide approximately 49% of protein. Milk provides approximately 26%. Fish
supplies contribute approximately 16% and eggs provide approximately 8.7% of protein
supplied by animals as a whole.
Which three animal food products supply most of the animal protein? - ANSWER-Meat
and edible offals, milk, and fish supplies
Approximately what fraction of the total land mass of the world is classified as
agricultural land? - ANSWER-About 1/3 of the total land mass of the world is classified
as agricultural land.
What fraction of the agricultural land of the world is primarily devoted to grasslands
(meadows and pastures)? - ANSWER-The remaining 2/3 of the total land mass of the
world is devoted to grasslands.
What fraction of the agricultural land is under cultivation (arable land and permanent
crops)? - ANSWER-Less than 1/3 of the agricultural land is under cultivation.
Briefly discuss why this relatively high percentage devoted to grasslands makes
ruminant animals so important to man. - ANSWER-Ruminants are able to digest these
grasslands. Thus, they are the only way those grasslands can be converted into food.
With the growing population, we will likely start to depend on ruminants to meet the
increased demands for food.
Based on your answer to the previous question, how would you answer someone who
referred to agricultural animals as a luxury? - ANSWER-I would probably just say what I
wrote as my answer to the previous question, honestly. I would also exaggerate the fact
that we can't refer to things we depend on as luxuries. In my opinion, if ruminants
become something we depend on to stay alive, there would be a lot less people
referring to them as luxuries when they start to get pretty hungry.
