Blog: Industrial Farming

I believe that harm caused by human actions and our intervention into natural processes and ecological systems, such as pollination, is a quite severe public health issue. This does require attraction of public attention and immediate actions. Otherwise, we are in danger of ruining our natural sources and habitats.
I found the movie exciting and educational. I was amazed by the varieties of cultures, farming methods and attitudes toward farming. Additionally, I think it's important to mention that we can and should use natural sources rather than antibacterial agents antibiotics. Because I have been thinking a lot about the overuse of antimicrobial and antibacterial products lately, I wholeheartedly agree with the statement that our society should find alternative ways for farming.
I didn't find any factory farms in San Francisco. There are some dairy farms in Marin County and many dairy, broiler and layers farms in Sonoma County. I wasn't surprised by the fact that there are no farms in San Francisco. I think it is reasonable that farms are located not far from the city. 
I do compost. I used to use compost bags, but recently bought a bin for compost products. Sorting trash, in general, makes me feel better and gives me a filling that I contribute to the common good. In the past, I had not composted because when I was living in Russia people were not sorting trash. However, we composted in our country house.
