Ms Gupta mentioned that the study, conducted by her, aims to analyze the emerging trends in the status of nutritional security through animal based products across the world. She said that it gives insight on differences in consumption and nutritional intake from livestock products and is also directed towards imparting suggestions which can be used by policy makers to make consumption and nutritional intake from animal based products more even. The study also explores the possibilities for people to get more food and nutrition from the rising livestock production, Ms Gupta added.
