Factory farming produces huge amounts of animal waste, over 89,000 lbs of urine and feces per second. That waste often finds its way into our streams and rivers and pollutes coastal waters. This runoff is not limited to concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFO) though, as a tremendous amount of runoff occurs from the huge expanses of croplands needed to grow the feed to support the billions of farmed animals raised in the US each year. The runoff from these farms is the leading cause of ocean dead-zones that are killing all life in our coastal waters. Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret
