CAFOs Uncovered: The Untold Costs of Confined Animal Feeding Operations explains how misguided federal farm policies have encouraged the growth of massive CAFOs (confined animal feeding operations) by shifting billions of dollars in environmental, health, and economic costs to taxpayers and communities. As a result, CAFOs now produce most of the nation's beef, pork, chicken, dairy and eggs, even though there are more sophisticated and efficient farms in operation.Instead of favoring CAFOs, the report recommends that government policies provide incentives for modern production methods that benefit the environment, public health, and rural communities. The report also shows that several smart alternative production methods can offer meat and dairy at costs comparable to CAFO products.
