Abstract
"As the human population grows, the task of producing enough food for everyone becomes increasingly difficult; by 2050 we will need to produce enough food for 2 million more people. To meet current food demands, an industrialized agricultural system has been created including concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs). Concentrated animal feeding operations make it possible for us to eat $1 burgers and enjoy a cheap meal, but their negative impacts are complicated and interwoven with other problems facing society. A few of the most serious aspects of CAFOs to consider are their ability to pollute water, their contribution to climate change, and how they can be improved." -- first page
