Effects on the Environment of Mass Food Production

Abstract Genetically Modified Foods are the newly developed epidemic of the 21st century. Through a multitude of hurdled obstacles of putting G.M.O’s into production, they are said to have aided world hunger, production costs, and the economy. However, the question of the level of safety comes into play when analyzing the long term and short term effects on the human body and environment. Although the United States has frugal laws regarding the labeling and production of G.M.O’s, a majority of other

Statistics derived from the United States Department of Agriculture show that approximately 10 billion animals raised each year are killed for food in the United States. The toll taken to the environment by mass meat production and the consumption of animal products is never considered. No one to think about how many resources needed to produce enough meat to cater to excessive consumption of animal products all over the world. These animals need to eat and drink. Feeding 10 billion animals in the

actually in food we eat? Many are oblivious to that. People should be very informed to what is actually going into their gastrointestinal system because it significantly impacts their health, and it can between life or death. Gone are the days when people saw every step of how their food was manufactured until it got onto their table to eat. With increased human population on Earth, consequently, mass production is ubiquitous. The commonality of mass production, has led to genetically modified foods. Genetically

store, it is likely the food you eat has been modified. Many of these unnaturally altered foods come from what is known as GMOs, which stands for genetically modified organisms. These are organisms, such as plants and animals, whose DNA has been changed and has had genes transferred or altered. Genetically modified foods, also known as GM foods, is what is created by these GMOs. While it may seem beneficial at first to genetically improve our foods, there are many negative effects that people may not

audience aware of why industrial production of food is being done in an unethical manner and the the health problems and risks that are arising. There are many reasons that this argument is a concern. These reasons include overlooked production practices, high and fast demand

Mass Production & The Dying World Over time mass production has been the root of many problems today, due to our overconsumption, money has only further amplified our current environmental problems. Mass production of meat has led to increased greed because everyone wants more of it- ground beef, steak, pork, and dairy. These are the products that we overconsume leads to environmental damage. It is causing the climate to change and endangering the natural world. The mass production of meat

that will have an escalated demand would be food. Innovation within technology has allowed the process of mass production of goods. Production of goods on a large scale allows farmers to meet the needs of the majority of consumers capitalizing on market share. In order to meet consumers forever growing needs, land must be acquired in order to generate new farms for agriculture. Although the needs of consumers are being meet, the act of mass production of agricultural is contributing to the destruction

enclosed location for feeding, breeding and production farming purposes. These operations are taking over smaller, family run farms that are raising animals ethically and environmentally friendly. CAFO’s are raising beef cattle, dairy cattle, poultry, fish and other animals for mass production to feed the ever growing demand for meat and poultry consumption. These large-scale operations are cutting out the small farms that cannot compete in the food production industry. This inhumane way of raising

When someone mentions a genetically modified food, the mind of skeptics, opponents, and laymen conjure up an amalgamation of a pear, an orange, and a tomato. They hold up the fruit, and say, "Behold, the unnatural creation of these monstrosities will bring about the destruction of the world!" They call this fusion a "Frankenfood," named from Mary Shelley's famous monster Frankenstein, created in 1818, labeling the advanced display of scientific technology as a monster. Yet, in a way, genetic engineering

world. As defined by Chris Woodford, air pollution is a gas released in a big enough quantity that harms the health of people or other animals, kill plants or stop them growing correctly, and damage or disrupt different aspects of the environment. There are many effects of air pollution, and also there are many things that cause it, for example excessive use of chemicals and cars. People cannot live without fresh air, there is nothing better than breath clean air after a long day of work, but nowadays
