         Intensive farming can provide more food but there are disadvantages:
             Waste (faeces and urine) can pollute nearby rivers and lakes.
             Animals may suffer as they are not in normal social groups.
             Disease can spread easily from animal to animal.
             Use of antibiotics can select resistant strains of bacteria,
             Heating and lighting are expensive - and cause more environmental damage.


         The  problem  for  the  world  is  how  to  balance  productivity  (more  food  for  humans)  and
         biodiversity (keeping the wide range of wildlife).
