FYS 135 Factory Farms: The True Cost of Meat
This course explores the topic of factory farms, more officially known as Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs). We will explore the history of farming in the United States that lead to the CAFOs of today. We will then unpack how these CAFOs effect the health and wellbeing of the communities around them, the local and global environmental impacts they have, and the ethics of the treatment of the animals housed in them.
