Factory farming is the root of most of our food problems. We are artificially boosting production - but it kills the natural processes in the soil, and this depletes the soil, instead of building the soil.

It causes erosion. It poisons the water. It also wastes water. It emits a strong greenhouse gas - nitrous oxide. It causes pollution.

Factory farming is extractive, and it is unsustainable.
