What are the Diverse Aspects of Factory Farming?

In the last few decades, food production farms has been became a large industrial facilities and the operations they are doing to produce food in high volume but they have no regard for the environment, animal welfare, or safety of food. Factory farms just concentrate on getting maximize profits without caring for health of consumers and rural communities at risk.

Following are some of the aspects of factory farming:

• Low monetary cost: intensive farming produces food and sold at lower costs to consumers. It is achieved by reducing land costs, management costs, and feed costs through government subsidized agricultural methods. However, Cheap industrial food, the organic movement has argued, only seems cheap, because the real costs are charged to the environment (in the form of water and air pollution and depletion of the soil); to the public purse (in the form of subsidies to conventional commodity producers); and to the public health (in the cost of diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease).

• Standardization can be achieved because this farming methods permit increased consistency and control over product output.

• Efficiency:Animals can be supervised more closely and diseased animals can be treated faster. Furthermore, efficient production of meat, milk, or eggs results in a need for fewer animals to be raised.

• These farmings can also contributed to economic development of the country.

• Food safety: Here reducing number and diversity of agricultural production facilities can be used to make the food quality more.

• Animal health: Importance to animal health is given in the larger farms because the experts of those farms will devote their work to protect them.

• Diseases: However, in such density animals, the chances of spreading diseases are more but through antibiotics we can prevent to some extent.
