In its latest Feed4Thought survey, Cargill found that twice as many young respondents, ages 18 – 34, in the U.S. and China reported knowing a livestock or seafood farmer compared to those older than 55—with similar trends in Mexico and France. And while 81% of 18-to-34-year-old Chinese participants said they have visited a livestock or seafood farm during their lifetime, only 50% of older survey respondents had. Young respondents in every country surveyed were more likely to have visited a farm than those over 55, despite the fact that, globally, there are fewer farmers to know or visit today than there were a generation ago.
