The new year marked the beginning of stronger hog farm regulations in North Carolina. The positive impacts, however, won't be seen for years to come. It goes like this: The legislature in 2007 banned open-air waste ponds on new and expanded hog farms and set higher standards for other waste disposal systems. The rules that implement the law took effect on January 1st. It sounds great, a way to tackle water and air pollution problems caused by large livestock operations, and it is. Only, the key words here -- "new and expanded hog farms" -- mean that existing open-air waste ponds are allowed indefinitely. Because of the economic climate, hog farms are "in survival mode" and not expanding their operations anytime soon. Still, the ban is a promising new rule that will eventually reduce pollution for North Carolina residents living near factory farms. Without small steps, we'd never change the big picture.

It's true what our moms said...we are what we eat. In fact, it's truer than they thought. What I eat doesn't just affect me anymore, it affects all of us.
Unfortunately, the story of food can sometimes be complicated. But envirovores help each other out...which is why this blog will be bringing you news, tips, and information about food and the environment every step of the way.
