Is losing water as fast as it is being replenished

Is losing water faster than it is being replenished

Is refilling water faster than it is being replenished

It takes about 2,500 gallons of water to produce a bushel of corn. And if an animal eats 50 bushels of corn in its time in the feedlot, we're looking at about 125,000 gallons of water per animal, under the industrial model.

So when it comes to those industrial-scale feedlots, the majority of the water is used to:

Producing corn to feed the animals

Producing water for animals to drink

Producing corn to feed humans

What is a benefit (positive) of free range grazing?

They create overgrazing when too many animals feed on a particular area of land

They tend to be free from antibiotics and other chemicals found in feedlots

It causes desertification

It requires large areas of land and is more expensive for consumers

1

What is a drawback (negative) of free range grazing?

They tend to be free from antibiotics and other chemicals found in feedlots

It causes desertification

They create overgrazing when too many animals feed on a particular area of land

It requires large areas of land and is more expensive for consumers

1

What is a concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO)?

A large pasture where animals are allowed to graze freely around and are not contained within a small area

A synthetic (man-made) type of meat that is created in a lab

A feedlot where animals are crowded into a small area and fed grains

1

What is a benefit (positive) of CAFOs?

They tend to be free from antibiotics and other chemicals

Animals are quickly raised for slaughter and are less expensive

They generate a large amount of organic waste that can be used as fertilizer

It causes desertification

1

What is a drawback (negative) of CAFOs?

They tend to be free from antibiotics and other chemicals

Animals are quickly raised for slaughter and are less expensive

It causes desertification

They generate a large amount of organic waste that can contaminate ground and surface water

1

What is overgrazing?

When not enough animals feed on an area which causes overgrowth of vegetation

When a perfect amount of animals feed on an area and they coevolve together

When too many animals feed on an area which causes loss of vegetation and soil erosion
