Industrialized Farming

"Industrial agriculture is a form of modern farming that refers to the industrialized production of livestock, poultry, fish, and crops. The methods of industrial agriculture are technoscientific, economic, and political. They include innovation in agricultural machinery and farming methods, genetic technology, techniques for achieving economies of scale in production, the creation of new markets for consumption, the application of patent protection to genetic information, and global trade. These methods are widespread in developed nations and increasingly prevalent worldwide. Most of the meat, dairy, eggs, fruits, and vegetables available in supermarkets are produced using these methods of industrial agriculture." (Wikkipedia Definition)

As you can see Industrial farming is the new way that farming is doing now. In these industrial farms, the farm is ran by the goverment. The animals are not fed grass or anything natural. Animals are kept in large numbers, and are expected so have a certain number or products. This is all done over a certain amount of time.


The negatives of industrial farming is what it does to people. Many people get sick. The food is not natural and it is all controeleld basically by the goverment.
