Why is the development of pig and poultry production in developing countries frequently occurring in densely populated areas near cities, and what are the related adverse effects?

What will be an ideal response?


The development of pig and poultry production in developing countries frequently occurs in densely populated areas near cities because it enables ready access to market, with little transportation costs. The downsides of this are that pollutants and pathogens from the farms are being released in populated areas, and fragile ecosystems, such as wetlands, are being destroyed.
