Yes, chickens can have large talons, if thats what you like. What is industrial agriculture? You've never heard of it? Well, don't be left out because many people haven't heard about it. Industrial agriculture is a modern form of farming where the machinery and purchased is substituted for the labour of human beings and animals.
There are three main components usually present in industrial agriculture. Monoculture- Industrial agriculture is the procedure of growing a single crop year after year. This process reduces the production costs drastically and helps the farmer to earn a higher share of profit. Pest prone is the use of other chemicals to kill bugs and weeds that are attacking crops. In the absence of crop rotation, industrial agriculture has a tendency to get attacked by pests and weeds. These pests and weeds could damage the crops and make them inedible. Unhealthy livestock is when a farm or an area with livestock keeps its livestocks in filthy conditions. Because of the inhumane conditions, they become susceptible to communicable diseases.
Almost anything and everything can be bred using industrial agriculture. Although we may not realize, the food on our plates could have come from industrial agriculture. Not just fresh food though, there have been rumours that the food served in fast food restaurants are biologically altered. The whole controversy of how KFC treats the chickens that they serve is very interesting. If it turns out to be true, KFC could be in big trouble because no one would want to buy their "dirty" food anymore.
Many people think that industrial agriculture is needed to keep up with the rapid increase of the population of the world. Although some would agree, myself included, I think that technology will bail us out of this eventually. Technology, as it gets more advanced, I guarantee will find a way to do everything that industrial agriculture does, but subtracts all the chemicals, poisons, and inhumane living conditions. But, for now i think that farmers should chill with all the altering of our food. I like my food clean, edible, and chemical-free.
