And certainly we are rediculous little animals wallowing in the fudge bowl, and God must love us all the more because we appeal to his humor. Ray Bradbury

Mercy toward the animals in our care is one such casualty.

animal practice different
When a livestock farmer is willing to "practice complexity"-to choreograph the symbiosis of several different animals, each of which has been allowed to behave and eat as it evolved to-he will find he has little need for machinery, fertilizer, and, most strikingly, chemicals.

This is perhaps the greatest efficiency of a farm treated as a biological system: health.
animal technology diversity
Our ingenuity in feeding ourselves is prodigious, but at various points our technologies come into conflict with nature's ways of doing things, as when we seek to maximize efficiency by planting crops or raising animals in vast mono-cultures.

A great many of the health and environmental problems created by our food system owe to our attempts to oversimplify nature's complexities, at both the growing and the eating ends of our food chain.
