CAFO or No CAFO
How can we expect to have a sustainable (and stable) economy
without first having a sustainable ecology? And how can we
expect to have a sustainable ecology without first having a
sustainable agriculture? Use of livestock manure to enhance soil
fertility and to promote plant health and proper plant nutrition are
sustainable agricultural practices. Use of the land as a means of
livestock waste disposal is not only unsustainable, it is a direct
threat to the groundwater and surface water of everyone
downstream.
