Who doesn't like a nice steak on the grill or a cervelat by the Fire? The average Swiss consumes around 70 kg of meat per year,
but spares little thought about the resources needed and the environmental impact of meat production.
We'd like to share some insights in the matter and provide sophisticated data on the subject.
First, let's have a look at the meat consumption per year in Switzerland.
As you can see in the Charts above, the total amount of meat consumed is rising while the average consumption per person has been steady for the last 15 years.
In the piechart above you can see, that the swiss love their pork. But in recent years Poultry has gained popularity and supplies nearly a quarter of total meat consumed.
