#Factory Dairy farms on the Rise in Asia The expansion of industrial dairy farms in Asia could lead to severe consequences for the environment, public health, animal welfare and rural economies, according to a policy paper by Brighter Green.
The Emergence of Industrialized Dairy Systems in Asia, forecasts that by 2025 countries in the global south will consume 375 million metric tons of milk and dairy products, nearly twice as much as in 1997.
which aside from India includes virtually no dairy, has created an emerging market of nearly 3 billion potential new dairy consumers.
To meet demand, concentrated animal feeding operations, known as CAFOS or factory farms are being set up across Asia.
While factory farms are an efficient way to produce large amounts of animal products in a short time frame
Brighter Green, the organization behind the paper, wants policymakers to take notice of the consequences of dairy CAFOS

According to the Food and agriculture organization of the united nations global animal agriculture produces vast amounts of crops to feed billions of farm animals long before they are consumed themselves.
The raising and slaughtering of farm animals is just one component. Raising animals for food also includes feed-crop production
