The effectsBeef Production
- Cow (cattle)
- Water
- It takes 1670 L of water to produce a pound of beef
(0.45 g), 11 times more than the amount required for
pork or chicken.
- It takes 1670 L of water to produce a pound of beef

- Food
- Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs)
- 1/3 of the worlds grain harvest is used for livestock production
- 1/3 of the worlds grain harvest is used for livestock production
- 75kg-300kg of dry matter
(grass/grain) for 1 kg of protein
- Largest component of beef’s water footprint is the huge
volume of virtual water consumed by cattle through their
feed, in this case both forage and grain
- Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs)
- Land
- Degredation
- Rainforest damage and loss (for example brazil, where forest is destoryed
new rangeland)
- 1.5 acres of rainforest worldwide are lost each
second, with clearing for cattle pasture being
the major contributer
- Rainforest damage and loss (for example brazil, where forest is destoryed
new rangeland)
- Desertification
- 28 times more land
intensive than pork or
chicken.
- Fertilizer applied to soil generates
nitrous oxide, which has 300
times the warming effect of carbon
dioxide
- Degredation
- Immunisations
- medical companies
- widespread antiobiotic use
- medical companies
- Slaughter
- Transportation
- To the butchers
- Tools
- steel and aluminium production
- energy

- Packaging
- synthetic plastic production
- Canned product
- Approximately 23 percent of the
energy used in our food
production system is allocated to
processing and packaging food.
- synthetic plastic production
- Waste
- Disposal packaging
- Plastic use

- Incineration
- Air pollution hrough release of harmful pollutants
- Water pollution through byproduct release to water bodies
- Reduced biodiversity in water bodies due to runoff of Nitrogen

- Air pollution hrough release of harmful pollutants
- Water usage to clear excess
waste
- Increased water
footprint
- Increased water
footprint
- Waste runoff may affect other ecological systems
- Half of every butchered cow is
not consumed
- Animal Fat
- Disposal packaging
- Tools
- Refridgeration
- Roads and Infrastructure
- Trucks
- Fuel Production
- Grain-fed beef requires 35 fossil
fuel calories for every 1 calorie
produced (including transport)
- 55-150 liters of water
are required per day
based on different
type of beef in
transportation.
- For cattle travelling more than 1000km
the transport component costs $150
per head.
- To the butchers
- unused meat recycling
- The rendering process
simultaneously dries the
material and separates the
fat from the bone and
protein. A rendering
process yields a fat
commodity and a protein
meal.

food-energy output for beef is 40:1
