SUMMARY:Eating Meat 2019 - Determinants\, consequences and interventions
DESCRIPTION:The goal of this workshop is to bring together scholars from th
 e social sciences working on the various aspects of human consumption of a
 nimal products. We want to engage in a discussion about what we know and d
 o not know about the consumption of meat and dairy\, its economic and envi
 ronmental consequences\, as well as possible ways to design effective inte
 rventions. Topics include\, but are not limited to\, psychological aspects
  of why humans eat (or do not eat) meat\, the economic analyses of informa
 tion effects and other interventions on the consumption of animal products
 \, and the evaluations of regulatory instruments like taxes.\n\nIndustrial
 ized countries have high levels of meat and dairy consumption. Recently\, 
 the rising middle classes in emerging countries are catching up\, eating a
 n increasing volume of meat and other processed animal products. Currently
 \, around 70% of agricultural land and 30% of the global land surface are 
 used for animal production\, and this has serious implications for life on
  Earth. The production and consumption of meat and dairy are not only depl
 eting and polluting the world’s freshwater resources\, but also contribu
 ting to climate change. It is estimated that around 18% of global emission
 s are attributable to livestock. Moreover\, livestock production is often 
 associated with dismal living conditions for the animals and\, therefore\,
  consumption of animal products can be viewed as a morally problematic act
 ivity.
