For many reasons, we'll most likely see a global increase in animal product consumption per capita for a while to come, which is compounded by population growth. In 'woke' western nations perhaps meat consumption will decrease, because we might eat less per capita and our population growth rates are fairly stable, but increasing rates of consumption per capita in the developing world will outweigh that. Population growth is greatest in developing nations as well, so considering the statistical trends, it is very unlikely that meat production and consumption will decrease any time soon. Perhaps way off in the future when most people in the world are choosing lifestyles rather than just trying to get enough to eat, the trend will turn, but that is an issue of poverty. However, for now, alleviating poverty will drive increases in meat consumption per capita until such time as most people's wealth enables them to access to all the food they want, and such wealth will also likely lead to stablisation of population growth. That is a long time coming, though.
