Calculation model for conversion of feed quantities in cultivated acreage in Europe.
| Value | Unit | Calculation formulas | |
|---|---|---|---|
| EU compound feed consumption in 2017 | 204.8 | Million tons | A |
| EU meat consumption/production ratio | 0.929 | % | B |
| Compound feed used for the production of the meat consumed in EU | 190.4 | Million tons | A × B |
| Average dry matter crop yield in Europe | 5,390 | t/ha | C |
| Acreage necessary for the compound feed production | 35,321 | Million ha | A × B/C* |
| Total fodder crops | 21,700 | Million ha | D |
| Total permanent grassland | 58,200 | Million ha | E |
| Total fodder and grassland | 79,900 | Million ha | D + E |
| Total arable land for feed + fodder | 57,021 | Million ha | A × B/C + D |
| Substituting 1% animal products on arable crops acreage | −0.570 | Million ha | (A × B/C + D) × 0.01 |
| Acreage necessary for “pea meat” (pea + canola) to substitute 1% | 0.119 | Million ha | F** |
| Difference of land occupation if 1% substitution | −0.451 | Million ha | (A × B/C + D) × 0.01 + F |
| 1% applied on permanent grassland | −0.582 | Million ha | E × 0.01 |
