Farmers Should Not Harm The Environment

Are farmers killing the environment or making them sick, or helping. or does your livestock, or any animals and humans getting sick from fertilizer ?. these is the question people are asking, well im going to try to answer these questions.

The farmers are using a fertilizer that is harming the environment, the american farmers are using about 22 million tons of chemical fertilizers that contaminate our water we drink from and are making animals and, humans sick.

There is runoff from factory farms gets into the water and contaminates our water that effects our environment by getting them sick. also the manure that they use gets carried to the water and dries up and can turn in to ammonia to get the environment sick, also it kills the animals that swim in the water like fish.

There may be bio-waste that may pollute soil and water bodies, but also it affects the factory farms from not using so much fertilizer because then that means they cant get very good crops, also erosions and the good top soil is washed away that has good nutritions.

There may be poison in the meat the the livestock may be drinking from the rivers or ponds, the livestock would be like cows, or pigs and it could kill almost about a million livestock or animals. the meat that people would buy at stores that could come from factory farms that the cows or pigs get sick because of the contamination in the water.

The farmers need the fertilizer or the manure from the livestock that they have because its helps with the crops grow. But i disagree with this because we need animals and clean water and the animals give us food and we dont want to get sick from the contamination in the water or the contamination in the water, and also could damage our grass and crops, and if the livestock drinks from the pond or rivers it may get posing and then when they cut the meat and we buy it there will be posing in it then when we eat it we will get sick.

The runoff from factory farms is damaging the environment like getting the humans that live around the area or animals that drink the water, the waste like fertilizer is bio-waste. what we can do to help it not use as much fertilizer and make sure that the water is clean and that the live stock is not getting sick and make the meat contaminated.
