From the standpoint of CO2 emissions and sustainability, it would make sense to bar meat exports globally. Most of the exporting countries' beef and pork markets are artificially subsidized to prop up grain prices, and there are other externalized costs like land clearing (as in the Amazon), or pesticide and antibiotic abuse. Meat consumption should be expensive and rare, not an engine of national economic growth.
