Factory farming, also known as intensive animal farming or industrial livestock production, is a system of large-scale agriculture designed to maximize production while minimizing costs. It involves raising a large number of animals—such as cows, pigs, chickens, and turkeys—in confined spaces with the help of automated systems, specialized feeds, and controlled environments.This method emphasizes efficiency and high output, often at the expense of animal welfare, environmental sustainability, and public health. Animals are typically kept in tight quarters, which can lead to stress, injury, and disease, requiring the routine use of antibiotics. Factory farming is a major contributor to pollution, deforestation, and greenhouse gas emissions, making it a key focus in debates over sustainable food systems and ethical treatment of animals.
