Factory Farming
and
Farming in Developing Countries
Environmental Consequences
Short-Term Consequences
The new developments in
technology in developing
countries allows them to
have their own produce
grown in their country with
limited space
allows the production for foreign
foods to be produced in different
climates
consequently causing less trade putting
other countries that depend on trade
at risk due to the availability of foreign
resources
Long-Term Consequences
Qatar is mainly desert land
which makes it difficult to
farm fresh produce so scientists
ad researches are experimenting
with mimicking greenhouses to
farm produce
These greenhouses can initiate
growth into more of the desert
Allows other vegetation that
is foreign to the desert to be
grown
Increases the amount of species
that are in the ecosystem,
allowing the ecosystem
In countries with limited space
for farming, they are creating
new ways to provide produce
to the society
Vertical farming is being
used in Singapore due to
the lack of land for farming
Scientific Consequences
New Developments
In countries with limited space
for farming, they are creating
new ways to provide produce
to the society
Vertical farming is being
used in Singapore due to
the lack of land for farming
Qatar is mainly desert land
which makes it difficult to
farm fresh produce
By creating these greenhouses,
countries with lots of desert like
Qatar are being given the
opportunity to grow produce and
have more vegetation
Economic Consequences
Economic Stability
Job Opportunities
25% of existing workforce are 55+
Baby boomers will retire creating
new opportunities for steady flow
of young people
Employment
Animal Farming
1,851,000 jobs and growing
Average American is eating 200lbs
of meat per year
Corn is the easiest and cheapest
product for farmers to put in
animal feed
Provides companies with more profit
Feeds marketing, finance, manufacturing,
insurance, transportation, food retail and
wholesale, and produce farming
Social Consequences
Animal Farming
Majority of animals are fed corn
as it is the easiest and cheapest
source of food for farmers to feed
their anmals
Teaching animals like fish and
cows to eat corn, instead of
what they are initially programed
to eat, like grass for cows
Average American is eating 200lbs
of meat per year
Americans are ingesting more
corn than suggested, which will
over time change society's diet
