    Meat processing technology for small- to medium-scale producers 2007
    Also available in:
    Over the next decade there will be an increase in global meat production from the current annual production of 267 million tons in 2006 to nearly 320 million tons by 2016. Almost exclusively, developing countries will account for the increase. The greater demand for meat output will be met by a further shift away from pastoral systems to intensive livestock production systems. As these systems cannot be expanded indefinitely due to limited feed availability and for environmental reasons, other m easures must be taken to meet the growing demand. The only possible alternatives are making better use of the meat resources available and reducing waste of edible livestock parts to a minimum. This is where meat processing plays a prominent role. It fully utilizes meat resources, including nearly all edible livestock parts for human food consumption. This practical and easy to understand manual is intended for meat processors in developing countries, in particular those who want to improve thei r existing manufacturing methods and anyone who is interested in entering this specific food sector, as well as for teaching purposes. It is a comprehensive compendium on all important topics relevant to the small- to medium-size meat processing sector, with more that 400 colour photographs, drawings and graphs. The manual also includes a series of practical topics which are important in meat processing but which are usually not sufficiently referred to or not found at all in meat processing han dbooks. This includes the handling and maintenance of equipment and tools, workers' appliances, workers' safety in using equipment and tools, meat processing under basic conditions, traditional meat drying, preparation of natural sausage casings from intestines of slaughter animals, the comprehensive listing and description of nonmeat ingredients, the manufacturing of meat products with high levels of extenders and fillers, as well as sources and processing technologies for animal fats in meat p roduct manufacturing, providing much-needed practical advice towards product diversification.

    El mundo se enfrenta a problemas globales sin precedentes que afectan a la sostenibilidad de los sistemas agrícolas y alimentarios y a los medios de vida de pequeños productores y agricultores familiares en todo el planeta. Entre estos problemas figuran el agotamiento de recursos y las repercusiones adversas del deterioro ambiental, como la desertificación, la sequía, la degradación de las tierras, la escasez de agua, la contaminación y la pérdida de biodiversidad, así como el cambio climático y una población mundial en constante aumento. De manera conjunta, estos desafíos representan una seria amenaza para la seguridad alimentaria. El hambre y la subalimentación crónica están aumentando, y hay enfermedades prevenibles transmitidas por los alimentos que siguen afectando a millones de personas cada año. Además, según las previsiones disponibles, en 2050 la creciente población mundial puede necesitar el doble de los alimentos producidos en 2012. Este problema se ve agravado por la pérdida o el desperdicio de aproximadamente un tercio de los alimentos producidos en todo el mundo, lo cual es en su mayor parte atribuible a deficiencias en la gestión de la inocuidad y la calidad alimentarias a lo largo de las cadenas de valor. Todos los sectores agrícolas —agricultura, ganadería y acuicultura— se encuentran, por lo tanto, en una encrucijada. Simultáneamente con el aumento de la productividad agrícola, el impacto ambiental negativo no solo debe reducirse al mínimo, sino que debe revertirse. Esto representa un giro paradigmático en la agricultura hacia la intensificación sostenible que sea capaz de hacer frente a perturbaciones y cambios, como la variabilidad climática y las crisis emergentes y reemergentes relacionadas con la inocuidad alimentaria. Hacen falta respuestas, políticas, actividades de desarrollo de la capacidad, innovaciones e incentivos a escala nacional, internacional e intersectorial que aborden las inquietudes sobre la inocuidad alimentaria relacionadas con este vertiginoso ritmo de cambios naturales, tecnológicos, demográficos y sociales.
