Regardless of stories from the UN and different our bodies within the wake of Covid linking the intensive farming of livestock to the unfold of zoonotic (animal-borne) ailments, the authors argue that “non-intensive” or “low-yield” farms pose a extra severe threat to human well being as a result of they require much more land to supply the identical quantity of meals.

This, it’s argued, will increase the possibilities of “spillover” of harmful viruses between animals and people as a result of it drives habitat loss, which displaces disease-carrying wild animals equivalent to bats and rodents and brings them into nearer contact with farmed animals and people.

The authors of the report, printed within the journal Royal Society Open Science, acknowledge that the quickly rising shopper demand for meat and different animal merchandise is posing a major threat to humanity.

“The dangers of rising infectious ailments are escalating. Livestock biomass now vastly exceeds that of untamed mammals and birds, and livestock hosts more and more outnumber wildlife hosts for pathogens they share”, it says.

Whereas eliminating the farming of animals would take away a number of the illness threat, say the authors, they argue {that a} dramatic discount in meat consumption could be “difficult” to realize.

So as an alternative the report checked out whether or not intensive or much less intensive farming was a greater possibility for lowering illness threat.
