TOPIC 1: Intensive Agriculture: Pig farming in Poland

conclusion:
Poland is 1 of the world's biggest pig farming countries.These uniform mettalic pig farms contain thousands of fattened pigs With over 1.2 million pigs slaughtered a month. This is promising to the unemployed as they intend to lower the umemployment rate in poland and this also contributes to Polands economy.But farming and slaughtering huge numbers of pigs causes harm to its surrounding environment and people. With huge numbers of animals comes huge amount of waste. Pig waste gives out toxic gases such as ammonia and hydrogen sulphide which, in high concentrations, can cause headaches, eye irritations, mood alterations and fatigue. This high concentration chemicals also sip into the soil and pollute the water beneath the soil endangering the lives of both humans and animals. So in conclusion the pig farming industry has brought good to Polands economy but also brought harm to the world's environment.
