  • PART II
     I think the biggest issue is that factory farming has affected the family farms the most because they but them out of business without offering them any alternative.Also,it impacts the future of the agriculture as this family farms begin to disappear.We live in a country that the population is over 300 million of people.Forcing the food industry to grow in order to feed all these people.This subject has been a big country for all of us, especially for those who knows the negatives results of Factory Farming. One of the biggest problems is that many family farms are disappearing because of the competition.Therefore farms struggle to stay in business.In fact, the old generation of farmers are not being replace by the newest one. Not only that, factory farming has damage the environment,food, animals ,etc.

    I think that the government should take action by helping family farms to grow. It is important for the family farms produce fresh, nutritious,foods, small family farms provide a wealth of help for their local regions and communities.According to the article "family farmers benefit society by boosting democratic values in their communities through active civic participation"  by doing this act it will open new jobs,even more young people will be encouraged to become farmers. At the same time it will diffidently secure the preservation of green space within the community.
