How this figure is calculated
Land animals slaughtered if all countries produced meat like.. divided by GDP (current US$), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Land animals slaughtered if all countries produced meat like.. ÷ GDP (current US$)
Computed from
- Land animals slaughtered if all countries produced meat like.. Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (2025); Population based on various sources (2024) – with major processing by Our World in Data
- GDP Country official statistics, National Statistical Organizations and/or Central Banks
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
