What is the cafo and how is it different from traditional farming?

A Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO) is a large-scale agricultural facility where a significant number of animals are raised in confined spaces, primarily for meat, milk, or egg production. Unlike traditional farming, which typically emphasizes pasture-based or free-range systems with lower animal densities, CAFOs focus on maximizing production efficiency often at the expense of animal welfare and environmental health. CAFOs also generate large amounts of waste, which can lead to pollution issues, while traditional farms may use more sustainable practices. This intensive farming method raises concerns about antibiotic use, disease spread, and impacts on local ecosystems.
