Nice overview of the issue @Moritz Stumpe! It is good to see that the demand for animal skin products has been decreasing so clearly. I wonder if this lower demand has any potential tangible impact on the profitability of the animals that are farmed predominantly for their meat, with their skins being sold as a secondary product.
Thank you Zuzana! If you havenāt yet, I can recommend this article that I linked in the post which gave me some food for thought on the interplay between farming for meat and leather. Please also note that the statement ādemand for leather products is on a downward trajectory on a global levelā is based on that article and I didnāt dive deeper into this, since this was only a shallow review. Would have to do more detailed research to be very confident in this.
