Question

The shift from grain to meat diets also creates more demand for cereals.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was addressed to me during an online exam.

This is a very interesting question from Food Production Strategies topic in portion Strategies for Enhancement in Food Production of Biology – Class 12

Answer 1

The correct option is (a) True

To explain I would say: The shift from grain to meat diets also creates more demand for cereals as it takes 3-10 kg of grain to produce 1 kg of meat by animal farming. For example, a 250 kg cow produces only 200 grams of protein per day while it eats 10-30 kg of food.
