CAFO Vs Caf

Katherine Spriggs, the author of the essay “On Buying Local,” speculates on the controversial issue of small farms versus industrial farms. There are various opinions regarding this, and she covers many angles of the argument. While reading her essay, you can definitely tell which type of farm she is in favor for, though she does acknowledge the other side and mention counter arguments respectfully. Her thesis was very clear in stating “We should not give up a little bit of convenience in favor of buying local” (Spriggs 92). She then gives us many main points thereafter and proves them with data. Spriggs uses the rhetorical strategies of ethos, pathos, and logos to effectively argue that buying local and supporting small farm is the best option

People have seriously affected the land. We utilize it to develop harvests to sustain our developing populace. We additionally utilize it to give vitality. Every year one individual in North America utilizes assets equivalent to more than 12 sections

Instead of unsustainable farming destroying the land and pumping foods chock full of pesticides, the land is able to thrive in a managealbe cycle with no end in sight. Instead of being fed corn and locked up, animals are able to graze on grass and roam sunny green pastures. And so, in the end, are you going to drive through the drive through of some chain fast food joint, for an insanely low price, or buy your food from a neighbourly open farm with humane conditions and healthier food? I think the best choice is

www.farmsanctuary.org Factory Farming and the Environment describes some of the concerns that come about with large scale farms. Factory farms need very large numbers of acres to keep the cows fed and the people in nearby communities fed also. Factory farms need millions of gallons of water to water crops and for all the animals. The farms also produce large amounts of manure which are generally collected in large pits until it can be transported into the fields. The fact is large amounts of manure are used to help crops grow and rarely go into oceans or rivers because there are many regulations and inspections that deal with the movement of manure. When there is a disaster and large amounts of manure does get into oceans and streams, many animals and other living things are affected and or killed. Methane from all animals is a big greenhouse gas and many environmentalists believe having too many farm animals is adding to the effect on the climate change. www.ciwf.org.uk.com Compassion in world farming is where I found a lot of information about this subject. Without large scale farms there would not be enough food to feed the billions of people in the world. People either don't know how to or are too lazy to grow food for themselves. If more people would raise their own food it would ultimately reduce the

While animal cruelty is the largest issue that arises from factory farming, there are also many other problems that stem from this type of production such as environmental impacts. With this type of food production, “modern animal agriculture puts an incredible strain on natural resources like land, water, and fossil fuel” (Factory Farming). This is causing non-reversible environmental damage such as contaminating water supplies and producing mass amounts of exhaust due to production. These practices are going unnoticed by both the government and the companies responsible. Laws and regulations for the environment are not doing their job and need to be changed in order to save the resources that future generations have a right to experience. The industry as a whole stand idly by as they destroy the environment by the practices they perform. This puts a major strain on the fight against environmental degradation by the lack of regard for conserving what is not the industries to ruin.

Factory farms have become an ingrained part of our society. They are depended on by people daily. However, it is not generally a fact people ponder often. A large portion of the average Americans food comes from factory farms. What individuals also do not realize is the damage these farms are doing to them daily. However, recently it has become a more prominent problem that many Americans and individuals around the world have started to recognize and raise concern about. Many are now considering this fact every day. Factory farms, specifically in the U.S. are a growing social problem that contributes to animal abuse, the deterioration of our environment, and damage to the local economy.

What do most people picture when hearing the word “farm?” Most would probably think of green pastures, white picket fences, and animals out in a field. However, factory farming exists as a much harsher reality. Factory farming is the mass containment of farm animals intended for use as livestock. This type of farming often involves cages confining the livestock, giving little to no range of motion;animals are stacked on top of each other, row on row. With factory farming, the term “free range” could almost be considered foreign. Factory farms often have very poor living conditions for the animals. For example, waste disposal is so poorly managed that the animals live amongst it, and the fumes that come from it. If the waste

In my opinion, the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources is aligned with my beliefs of being prepared. It highlights the importance of people in our society taking strong actions to help preserve our wildlife. I believe the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources’s actions are to be seen as a role model in the eyes of every other state in America and around the world. I believe this is important because the health of the world’s animals is directly tied to us in several ways.

The greatest environmental issue that could be the crux of the loss of our public lands is that we have yet been unable to find that balance between direct and indirect values. Some of our finite resources provided by our public lands such as lumber, oil, gas, and minerals must be extracted in order to keep up with population growth. These resources are direct and can be tracked. Unfortunately, the benefits of our public lands are wildlife habitation, removal of carbon dioxide from our air, filtration for our waterways, and beautiful landscapes to fill our hearts and minds.

Some people believe that public land should be managed by the method of conservation, meaning that the environment and its resources should be used by humans and managed in a responsible manner.If people do not manage the land properly and the resources are not being used sustainably, then the environment can be destroyed, and the conservation method will have failed.

I believe that factory farms should no longer be used to raise animals for consumption. These poor animals live short lives filled with misery and that is no way for any animal to live. The corporation of industrialized farms have made “family farms” virtually non-existent and reduced their numbers heavily. Since output is the main concern with these corporations, they are willing to take out anything that stands in their way. They have no motivation to help their living conditions because business is very

Between mislabeling, absent labeling, and bending the truth, the farming industry has become a business. Quality no longer matters. Turn over rate and production seem to be the only goal of so called “farmers”. Factory farming is defined as a system of rearing livestock using intensive methods, by which poultry, pigs, and/or cattle are confined indoors under strictly controlled conditions. Factory farms are very common. These intensively crude facilities abuse and kill innocent animals every day. Factory farming should be banned because of the fact factory farms pose serious health risk to consumers, detrimental effects on the environment, and deadly harm to innocent animals.

I have always lived on or around farms or some sort of agriculture. My family’s heritage is made up of small town American farmers who emigrated from Germany in the early to mid 1800s to start a new life. The farm of my fourth great-grandparents is still being used today and it still plays an important role in our agriculturally strong society. Certain regulations can hurt farmers all over the country, enacting crippling problems and expenses on farms. Over the past three summers I have worked on farms near my hometown. I have seen first hand how rules and regulations can affect a farm and the production of products that farmers use to make a living. Some of the time, farmers have it rough. I have even noticed some rules that are a little

This paper uses the terms natural resource(s), resource(s), and reserve(s) in many different contexts. Please use care when interpreting their usage and context.

Human Geography is not simply the study of the Earth. It also encompasses the people, places, and things that make up the Earth, which makes it so much more important to have at least a basic knowledge of. Living in ignorance of what is important can only get you so far. In my opinion, being aware of events happening in other parts of the world is essential. Just because it is not happening to you does not mean it is of little importance or that it will not have an effect on you. This class is going to be extremely beneficial to me in multiple ways throughout life, including, but not limited to, solving problems, making decisions, and forming opinions about current events and politics.
