I have actually heard them referred to with both terms, but Concentrated is the preferred term.)Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations are proliferating across America, and have even begun to spread to the UK and other countries. No scientific body nor ecological body approves of their existence, because of the immense harm CAFOs cause to the environment, the health of the people who live around the CAFO, and even to the economy.In addition to the information in this episode, I am including some links to places that will give you more detailed information about these things, and the horrific impact they have on the environment, public health, and the economy.
