Arabic-Web-Argentine factory farms make room for soy

  • 13 years ago
Argentina's gaucho cowboys herding their cattle across Argentina's grassy plains -- it's a romantic image, and soon, perhaps, one of the past. Raising cattle is now increasingly an industrial affair, with animals packed together in pens, their fattening -- and slaughter -- sped up for ultra-efficiency. There are now 15,000 feedlots in Argentina, while the land once used for livestock is now being taken over by a more lucrative Argentinian export: soy. A natural sound AFPTV report.
