Show Notes

Sherri Dugger, Executive Director of The Socially Responsible Agricultural Project, talks about how SRAP helps communities faced with problems caused by Industrial Livestock Farming. Many communities learn about the health problems, water pollution, and air pollution caused by Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations. If a community learns that a CAFO is coming into the neighborhood, SRAP will help with organization and find experts with proof that other communities have been ruined by a CAFO. SRAP can find data that can help with the fight. SRAP can also help contractors who have signed up and learned that the corporate figures don't add up. Our next podcast features an interview with one of those contractors.
