The world's population is predicted to reach 9 billion people by 2050, according to the united nations (UN, 2015). Food production will have to increase by at least 70% in order to meet global demand for food due to population growth, urbanization, and economic growth in many countries, as well as shifts in people's diets towards higher consumption of animal foods, fruits and vegetables, and increased efforts to alleviate hunger and malnutrition in low-income countries (FA, 2013; HLPE, 2016). Protein demand will rise, particularly from animal sources, and systems based on poultry, pork, and cattle are predicted to double in size (moon & lee, 2015). In 2050, demand for meat and milk is predicted to be 58 percent and 70 percent higher, respectively, than in 2010, particularly in emerging countries (FAO, 2011). For the manufacturing of feed stuffs, this increased demand for animal products will necessitate vast quantitative of scarce resources (van Huis et al., 2013). Furthermore, the depletion of nonrenewable resources such as fossil hydrocarbons is causing a rise in demand for biofuels, resulting in a battle over land use priorities (Rodriguez et al., 2008).} }
