Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) account for most U.S. livestock production. Their large scale helps keep food costs down, but the sheer volume of manure, along with the practice of spreading it on farm fields for its fertilizer value, has led to air and water quality problems. Nutrient runoff, methane and ammonia emissions, and other issues have CAFOs under scrutiny from regulatory agencies, advocacy groups, investors, and their consumers too.
