Definition of animal agriculture

Back

Animal agriculture is the growing of livestock for human consumption and their products.

Front

List 3 negative impacts related to animal agriculture.

Back

Greenhouse gas emission, deforestation, and agricultural runoff into lakes and streams.

Front

Wasting meat is considered a double waste because all of the resources that the animal ate are also being wasted.

Back

Wasting meat is a double waste because all of the resources (crops + water) that the animal ate are also being wasted.

Front

List 3 negative impacts related to human-induced climate change.

Back

Increased severe weather (drought, flooding, hurricanes), increased severity of weather, and sea-level rise.

Front

Animal agriculture increases the effects of climate change by releasing greenhouse gases.

Back

Methane, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide are all greenhouse gases that are released from animal agriculture and trap heat in the atmosphere.

Front

Subatomic particles within an atom and their electrical charges.

Back

- Proton: positively charged particle in the nucleus of an atom - Neutron: particle with no charge (neutral), located in the nucleus of an atom - Electron: negatively charged particle that orbits the nucleus (has virtually no mass)
