| Chrizum said: That's only half of the story though. Enitre rainforests are being destroyed every day for farms to grow food on for the "mass-produced shit". Tons of animal diseases origin from the factory farms not to mention the enormous CO2 emissions. Factory farms are actually one of the worst things for our environment right now, just behind the killing of our oceans. |
Organic farming requires MORE land, so how will it reduce forest destruction?
As that article that HappySquirrel posted says, organic farms can produce more CO2 emissions per crop than factory farms.
I don't actually support factory farming as far as meat/eggs/dairy are concerned, as I feel the animal welfare issues that arise from factory farming trump anything in regards to emissions.
At least, however, we agree on ocean destruction being the greatest environmental tragedy of today... and it's 10* worse, because it's one that 90% of people ignore/don't even realise it's happening.
