ENVS 30002 - CAFOs and the Environment

Course Credit: 1
Maximum Credit: 0
CAFOs and the Environment Industrial meat production and the factory-style confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs) produce the vast majority of the meat consumed in the country, yet few people have any idea how they operate, and they pose grave environmental risks. In this course, we will peel back the curtain on CAFOs and their environmental, human health, social, and ethical implications, using texts from multiple disciplines and various research methodologies.
