RESOURCE USE IN SYSTEMS OF INTENSIVE ANIMAL PRODUCTION

Delane E. Welsch

No 13509, Staff Papers from University of Minnesota, Department of Applied Economics

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to describe several alternative mixes of resources used in animal production, explain why they came about, and question their appropriateness. My main thesis is that capital-intensive systems, although not inherently good or bad, have social and economic consequences for a country that may be either very good or very bad.
