Effects of livestockon environment ļEating meat is the very leading cause of global warming which is one of the main causes of the unprecedented ice melts in the arctic and Antarctic. ļSome of the environmental effects that have been associated with meat production are pollution through fossil fuel usage, water and land pollution.
- 10. Biodiversity ļLivestock take up30% of the lands surface which was once habitat of wildlife. ļTropical forests hold half of the worlds species which are becoming extinct at an alarming rate due to deforestation for meat production. ļ53% of global fish meal production is used by the livestock sector for feed , seriously affecting the worlds fish population.
- 11. Water Pollution ļLivestock productionis the largest sectorial source of water pollutant. ļAnimal waste contribute to large oceanic ādead zonesā in coastal areas. ļ Degradation of coral reefs ļAnimal agriculture is the source of more than a third of water pollution from pesticides and half of water pollution from antibiotics.
- 12. ļAquaculture(basically, the factoryfarming of fish in under water enclosures)also makes a large contribution to water pollution. Intensive fish farming maximise production efficiency and creates tons of untreated fecal waste that pollutes and de-oxygenates aquatic habitants

- 20. ļConverting plant proteininto animal products is wasteful. It takes 20 kilos of feed to produce 1 kilo of edible beef, 7.5 kilos of feed for a kilo of edible pork and 4.5 kilos for a kilo of edible chicken. ļOver 30% of global grains(including wheat and maize) and 90% of soya are used to feed farm animals, of which the majority are in factory forms.
