How are eggs produced? On factory fatms, where the vast majority of the global egg supply comes from, eggs are produced by subjecting female chickens, known as laying hens, to unbelievable acts of cruelty. Thousands of birds are crammed together, often in filthy, darkened places where the birds have almost no ability to engage in natural behaviors. Meanwhile, their bodies are pushed to produce as many eggs as possible: almost one a day. Compare that to a wild chicken, who would naturally lay close to 12 eggs in one year, and you’re confronted with a nearly 3,000% increase in egg production—3,000% more than what is ‘natural’ for a living, breathing hen. At the end of their abbreviated lives, hens are sent to the slaughterhouse, where they're destined to become cheap meat via a brutal process known as live shackle slaughter The life cycle of laying hens The life cycle of hens on factory farms are filled with exploitation at every turn. From birth until death, these birds are subjecte...

Organic farmers utilize natural resources in a way that they benefit while protecting these resources for future gene-rations. Concerns are growing about long-term sustainability of agriculture. Fertile land and suffi cient water are vital for sustaining agriculture and livelihoods. In Africa productivity of land, however, has been decreasing with the increasing intensifi cation of agriculture due to land degradation. The major causes of land degradation are unsustainable agricultural practices like farming on steep slopes without suffi cient use of soil and water conservation measures, monocropping, excessive tillage, or declining use of fallow without appropriate replenishment of soil nutrients, burning of crop residues, conversion of forests, woodlands and bushlands to permanent agri...

Angola  is a potentially rich  agricultural  country, with fertile soils, a favourable climate, and about 57.4 million  ha  of agricultural land, including more than 5.0 million ha of arable land. Before independence from Portugal in 1975, Angola had a flourishing tradition of family-based farming and was self-sufficient in all major food crops except wheat. The country exported  coffee  and  maize , as well as crops such as  sisal ,  bananas ,  tobacco  and  cassava . By the 1990s Angola produced less than 1% the volume of coffee it had produced in the early 1970s, while production of  cotton , tobacco and  sugar cane  had ceased almost entirely.
