Industrial agriculture operations like CAFOs are like fossil fuels, unnecessary, immoral and unethical. In the age of the climate catastrophe with a rapidly closing time window for global reorientation, we can simply not afford business as usual that pollutes our water and air, produces substantial amounts of methane and is severely inhumane to farm animals. As it is way overdue that we switch our energy supply to 100% clean renewable sources, we need a new agriculture based on agroecology, which protects the environment, produces healthy, pesticide-free food and rewards farmers with better earnings. Protecting soil carbon is also one of the most effective ways to reduce greenhouse gases. It is inevitable that the world will go this way - the only question is - are we going to do it before we doom the livelihood of our children and grandchildren - and before we loose most of the precious species that we share this planet with.
