An estimated 99% of farmed animals in the United States are raised on Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs). CAFOs house large numbers of animals in poor conditions and produce pollut ion and waste that escape into the surrounding environment. These emissions reach neighboring communities\, decreasing quality of life and impacting t he health of community members. CAFOSs are disproportionately placed in com munities of color and are poorly regulated by both the state and federal go vernment. This talk will discuss both the impacts of CAFOs on communities t hrough an environmental justice lens and current efforts to prevent these h arms. Speakers: Peter Lehner\, Lee Miller\, Sherri White-Williamson.
