The animals eat this food for months sometimes even years before being slaughtered they are the world's most under-recognized middle men.
Raising animals for food also includes feed-crop production which requires extensive water energy and chemical use as well as energy for transporting that feed live animals and animal products.
A Carnegie mellon University study found that eating plant-based meals even just one day a week reduces more greenhouse gases than eating exclusively local foods every day (a practice some people admirably
though mistakenly think leads to a major environmental impact due to the reduced travel miles to transport the food).
About a half-billion fewer animals are now being raised for food than just several years ago reducing animal agriculture's global impact.

Goat Enthusiastically Completes Cognitive Tests The goats'ability to retrieve food from the box may mean that the animals are generally good at problem solving Mcelligott said a skill that could come handy
when they look for food and water sources. The research team tested the goats'ability to remember the task after one month and again after 10 months.
And the animals still remembered how to retrieve the food at the later date. The findings may help researchers understand why goats adapt easily to extreme environments.

At the top of the Spencer Gulf near Port Augusta in South australia Sundrop Farms is turning sunlight and seawater into fresh water and food inside greenhouses.
Philipp Saumweber is a Harvard MBA formerly of investment bank Goldman sachs who was struck by the basic idea that food needs to be produced in a very different way from how it largely is today.
The concept is to turn sunlight and seawater(#oesundrops#)into clean food water and energy.
The food produced is clean uniform and produced with minimal use of pesticides since the sterilised airflow reduces pest invasion
there is no single answer for the world s food needs. And there are still huge research challenges in reinventing food production in a crowded world.
But there are also vast entrepreneurial opportunities. So from an Australian perspective it will be exciting to keep watching to see how the Sundrop Farms model works out.
