The graph illustrates the quantities of fish and different kinds of meats
consumed in a European country between the time period of 1979 and 2004.
Overall, the consumption of beef, lamb and fish have all decreased while the
consumption of chicken has dramatically risen.
Beef had the highest consumption in 1979 (approximately 220 grams per person
per week), while fish had the lowest consumption (around 60 gram per week
was consumed by a person). Between 1979 and 2004, the amount of fish
consumed stayed nearly steady at around 50 grams. Beef and lamb consumption
patterns were similar, with declines in volume across years. While beef
consumption fell from more than 200 grams per person per week to around 100
grams over a 25-year period, lamb consumption fell from 150 grams to around
50 grams.
Overall, only Madrid and Frankfurt had increases in housing prices during the
first period, while Tokyo was the only city to have a decrease in housing prices
during the second period. The most substantial changes in housing prices
occurred in London.
It’s clearly seen that overgrazing, deforestation, and over-cultivation are the
primary causes of agricultural land degradation globally. Furthermore, Europe
had a far larger percentage of damaged land than Oceania and North America.
During the 1990s, Europe had the highest share of degraded land among the
three areas, at 23%. However, there, deforestation, rather than overgrazing, was
the most significant issue, causing 9.8% of the area to become less productive.
Oceania was the second most impacted area, with 13% of its land damaged,
primarily due to overgrazing (11.3%). It's also worth noting that Oceania didn't
overgraze its land. In comparison, just 5% of North American soil has been
degraded. Over-cultivation, which accounted for 3.3% of the total, was once
again the leading cause.
