I moved the below here as it depends on 20th century sources and seems to be going off topic a bit
The Neo-Malthusian concept proposes that there will be an increased demand for food supplies with population growth, which will lead to the inability to sustain a healthy population.[1] The rate of human population growth is outpacing that of the food supply, which is growing at a slower pace. Mohan Roa suggests that if the world's population exceeds the threshold of the amount of food needed to sustain it, there is a risk of famine. Yet, reducing the birth rate among humans could prevent a significant impact on the global food supply. In 1952, India launched an official family planning program to reduce the population growth rate, which promoted the use of IUDs, vasectomies, and female sterilization.[2] Chidgk1 (talk) 15:11, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello @CarlFromVienna
I wonder if you accidentally reverted more of my changes than you intended? Was it just the tree planting and rewilding you consider out of scope? Chidgk1 (talk) 14:25, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

Chidgk1, its been a while, and its nice to see that you are still working on improving the article. I previously removed the pigs subsection because it seemed to merely redundantly repeat the information that was already in the rest of the article. The Pigs subsection does not seem to help the overall article. The rest of the current article's information is pretty well categorized already, i think, and the addition of the Pigs subsection ruins the flow of the categorization by creating overlap between subsections. Do you think we should remove it, and add it to the "See also" instead? Why or why not? Jarfuls of Tweed (talk) 08:25, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
I've been doing research about the disproportionate environmental effects of the industry on communities of color and low-income communities and was wondering if this would be the right place to include these details. These details could potentially go into the environmental impact section or there could be another section altogether explaining the ways in which communities are affected.

"For the livestock industry, inspections focused primarily on CAFOs. Of the 32 other industries, (including crop production) had a better 5-year environmental record than the livestock industry, 2 had a similar record, and 25 had a worse record in this respect." I'm confused, can naybody help rephrase them? thanks.--ThomasYehYeh (talk) 12:09, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
That happens at least 5 times in different sections of this article, could it be an advertisement or advocation? ThomasYehYeh (talk) 00:05, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
I've carried out the merger of "environmental impact of cattle" into here. See previous discussion here. I invite everyone to take another look and help reduce any duplication that the merger might have introduced. Some of the content that is currently under "cattle" could probably also be moved up to other parts of the article. EMsmile (talk) 08:30, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
