Title: Agriculture & Soil Degradation — The Conscious Challenge
Headings: 

Content: But even if animals are spread over a big territory, the soil can suffer from degradation. A cow for example, can eat between 40 and 75 kg of food per day. So, if we consider that they are on the same land all year long, they will eat all the resources without the possibility of regeneration for the soil. Livestock are also responsible indirectly with the land needed, to grow their foods. Because it is not directly for human consumption, people use to give to animals second-class agricole products, like GM (genetically modified) soja, GM corn or even animal origin flour. These exploitations are massively polluting and source of soil erosion. For example, in South America, we consider that 60% of the soil is degraded and 70% of this degradation comes from the land used to grow food for animals. Cultural inappropriate practices
Practices in the agricultural world are one of the biggest threat for the soil. Farmers in the previous 50 years did not pay attention to the soil, animals or even people who used pesticides and fertilizers in big quantities. Now the biggest threat is GMOs but all the products used in the past, are still used which make the agricultural world even worse.
