The Impacts of Beef Production
The livestock industry makes a profound impact on the environment in a number of ways. This infographic, the third in our series, demonstrates just a few. Enjoy!
The Future of Food Production
Thus far in our exploration of contemporary food systems, we have learned that feeding the future global population will be a considerable challenge. Not only is the global population exploding, but our arable land is decreasing and the energy + wastes in the contemporary food system are vast. Concentrating local food production and eliminating, where possible, the need for large quantities of food imports, may very well be the first step in achieving a sustainable food system. The second in the New York City (Steady) State infographic series illustrates some of the issues at hand. Enjoy!
