Which of the following is NOT something that would DECREASE your footprint

A CAFO is a concentrated animal feeding operation, meaning that -

many animals are allowed to graze on a large area of land

a small number of animals are raised in warehouse-like structures

eutrophication and increased methane production

higher fire potential and increased productivity

higher primary productivity and ammonification

filling up cracks in a building's exterior

bringing in natural predators of the pest

Which of the following strategies would help ensure that we can provide food for a growing human population?

reduce the amount of meat consumption worldwide

Increase ethanol production in industrialized nations

encourage parents to have more offspring to increase available farm labor

increase palm oil production in poor countries

reduce the production of nitrogen fertilizers
