What’s the global market size [or VC invested] of the black soldier fly farming industry by [year]?
What % of [Asian, African, South American] egg supply will be covered by a cage-free commitment by [year]? What % of production will be cage-free?
What % of egg supply [in the US, China, Europe, globally] will use in ovo sexing by [year]?
In kg/capita, what’s meat consumption [and/or chicken, fish, shrimp consumption, data permitting] in [US, China, Europe, globally] by [year]? How many countries will have stable or declining meat consumption?
Will [major fast food chain, e.g. McDonald’s] carry a vegan option in the US by [year]? (This might be tricky to operationalise)
Maybe 2030 or 2035 for the year but I don’t have a strong opinion. +1 to all of James’s questions too.
I can imagine some of these forecasts influencing funding and advocacy decisions, especially on neglected species/regions and meat consumption. I’m an animal welfare researcher/advocate (currently, I work for Animal Ask and I’m co-founding the Center for Wild Animal Welfare). Sorry for a late reply!

Hi Ben, thanks for these questions.
To make the tournament as decision-relevant as possible, would you be able to add:
Why you’re submitting this question, and how this question could influence decisions (your own, or those of others you know in the animal movement)
Your current (and/or past) level of involvement in the animal movement (e.g. funder, researcher, advocate, none/adjacent, etc.)
