How to Fight a Factory Farm
A concentrated animal feeding operation, or CAFO – better known as a factory farm – is a facility where large numbers of animals are raised in confined, cramped conditions. A few decades ago, CAFOs were very uncommon. Today, the vast majority of farm animals in the U.S. are raised in CAFOs. Over the course of this four-part series, we’ll learn about how factory farms took over the American agriculture system, what effect they’ve had on rural communities in the Midwest, and we’ll meet some of the farmers, advocates and rural organizers fighting against them as part of the Campaign for Family Farms and the Environment. How to Fight a Factory Farm is produced by the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy, a member of the Campaign for Family Farms and the Environment. This feed also includes IATP’s two previous podcast series, Uprooted: Talking COP27 and The Farm Bill Uprooted.
