Prohibitive livestock husbandry costs

  • Costly animal feeds
  • Costly cattle investment
  • Exorbitant costs of chicken raising

Claim

A particular problem, not only in developed countries, is the rising demand for meat, fish, poultry and dairy products, which encourages farmers to raise livestock. Growing fodder and feed crops for animals can displace subsistence food crops and is a less efficient use of land.
