As population growth continues, and new areas for agriculture become limited, it is important to use new methods, like genetics, to keep the world fed. Pig production has responded to the demand over the years by switching from traditional to the current intensive system. Future development will be impeded by politicization in science: with funding given to researchers who use “conclusions seeking evidence”. Critics of current agriculture have led to some companies switching to other countries, often with fewer regulations. Population growth would suggest that pork demand will increase, however meat is generally eaten by those with more income. Slowing population growth will increase per capita income in a country, and possibly allow more people the opportunity to eat meat. The future market will likely be more volatile, and precision agriculture that provides stabilization will be a solution for success.
