Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of urbanization on meat consumption in South Asian economies. To find the correlation between urbanization and meat consumption, we gathered data from Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Bank. The empirical results show that urbanization, inflation and meat production have a significantly positive impact on meat consumption. From a policy perspective, considering the connection between nutrition and economic growth, it would serve the government well to take an interest in nutrition and food consumption so as to improve the economic growth of the country.
