The process of intensification, by which extensive production systems, with low input and
outputs, are replaced by more specialized intensive farms, has been particularly rapid in much
of Southeast Asia, but with contrasting levels across the continent. For instance, whilst 75–90%
of poultry are raised in extensive backyard systems in countries such as Bangladesh, Cambodia,
India, Myanmar or Nepal, only 30% were produced in extensive systems in Thailand in 2005,
and less than 5% in countries such as Malaysia, Japan and South Korea (see methods for
sources). Because demographic growth and increasing wealth are pushing up levels of consumption
of animal-source foods, demand for poultry meat is forecast to increase rapidly in Asia in
the coming decades. It has been estimated that growth in demand for poultry meat from 2000 to
2030 will be around 121% in China and a staggering 844% in India [9], although a recent revision
of FAO’s projections suggests slightly less dramatic figures for poultry growth in India
