A first-of-its-kind analysis links thousands of premature deaths to ammonia, dust and other hazardous particles generated on U.S. farms. The research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences identifies animal-based foods like meat and dairy as the primary culprits, accountable for 80 percent of all food production-related mortality. But most of these deaths could be avoided if farmers better manage waste and fertilizer and Americans reduce their meat intake. |
