Critically evaluate the mechanisms that enforced to regulate inhumane farming methods
Answers
Answer:
The mechanisms that were enforced to minimise or regulate inhuman farming are:
1) Non consumption or total boycotting of factory reared products. Farm animals which are reared naturally without any inhuman means are labelled as " free range", " pasture reared". So buying them instead of buying any other labelled packets has lessened their economic profit.
2) Scientists have developed an innovative process of embryo formation with the help of stem cells. It is called genetic engineering and this is not a inhuman , painful procedure. This process is adopted in most of the developed countries.
3) Government should ban inhuman ways of factory rearing animals as it also is harming the environment.
4) Farm animals like, cows, pigs, goats, are reared in a narrow cage and kept in a metal or concrete floor. Many animals are kept together in the cage.
So, by creating awareness among people about the hygiene, factory products would be less consumed.
Mechanisms to regulate inhumane farming methods:
Intensification: An agricultural method which is used to increase the production of agriculture along improvement in the environmental outcomes.
Water efficiency: The soil evaporation and transpiration of the plants is need to be monitored to efficiently use water on plants.
Soil and nutrients: The recycled compost is need to be used to protect the soil from degradation. It also helps to prevent soil erosion.
Pests and weeds: The chemical is need to be used lightly for sterilization of soil. The irrigation is used to remove pest and insects.
Crop rotation: It reduces the depreciation of nutrients from soil and protects soil top.
Traditional agriculture: It involves polyculture.
Alternative agriculture: It involves organic agriculture, regenerative agriculture and permaculture.
