The study looked at how people in urban and rural areas of Imo State, Nigeria, buy and eat meat. Researchers interviewed 50 households over 14 months to see how their income affected their meat consumption. They found that households with lower incomes tended to buy more meat when they had more money, while wealthier households bought less meat when they had more money. Overall, household income was the biggest factor influencing meat consumption. This information can help policymakers make decisions about meat consumption in Nigeria.
