Countries in Europe are pushing their way trough economic growth.Increasing demand for cheap food have lead countries like Poland towards intensive agriculture.Without realising it these countries are actually polluting the environment badly.Smithfield Foods which slaughters 20 million hogs a year are boosting the country's economy by creating alot of jobs in their pig farms.What they did not know is that their farms have greatly damage the environment.Firstly the huge ammount of waste from the farms does not only polute the air surroundings,but also can cause a risk to marine life and indirectly to human beings.Antibiotics realeased from this farms also can cause harm towards other pigs and humans.The people there are complaining that they dont mind about the high price of these pigs but what is more important are the long term effects towards the environment.
These case study is one example of what is happening to our earth when countries put economic growth first rather then the environment.These cause not only harm towards their own citizens but the whole world food supply especially when these companies are the ones that are competing in the global market.
