REFLECTION QUESTION
Food, Agriculture, and Land Use

What did you learn from visiting or researching a dairy farm?

The main takeaway I have got from researching cattle farming is that it is extremely unsustainable. The resources needed for the cows includes a lot of land, food, and water. Then the production and shipping has even more carbon emissions. Looking into this issue and learning about the impact it has on the environment has made me want to avoid purchasing red meat. I have only been consuming chicken and fish as proteins. I used to almost weekly purchase ground beef but I have had no issue supplementing that for chicken or a fish.
