Paper Summary:

This paper examines how four decades of impressive economic growth, rising per capita income, and growing opportunities have provided millions with a better standard of living in the Asia-Pacific region and how, as a result of greater prosperity, Asians eat more meat, fish, and dairy products. It looks at how, coupled with a growing population, this increased demand has the potential to overwhelm global commodity markets and therefore create shortages.

From the Paper:

"There has been a significant increase in the amount of arable land in developing countries; yet, the Asian region has gained a minute portion of available land to increase crop production. " Developing countries will expand their total amount of arable land by 120 million hectares by 2030, this includes only 15 million hectares in Asia. India and China together account for about 28% of the developing countries' arable land. In South Asia, nearly 90% of arable land is already in use, whereas in East Asia, 40 % of arable land remains unused" (Ivory 2001, 17)."
