There is a need for expansion; however, there is also a need to meet the requirements put in place about locally grown and produced products as well as high wages for workers. There is also a lack of ability to make “SMART” business growth decisions by the owner. Analysis Current Situation Monforte Dairy (Monforte) is a specialized cheese company currently being run by Ruth Klahsen whose background is in the culinary industry. Her business background comes from this foundation and has thus set up Monforte in a similar fashion. She has grown to have a loyal customer base as her cheeses are agriculturally sustainable, use locally produced products and uses healthy methods of producing her cheeses that does not harm the environment.
Instead of profiting from a high yield the producers will lose customers because of their anxiety towards the foreign milk. Hypothetically the producers would have benefited from the advancement, but realistically, nations worldwide would want a guarantee that their people are not going to be harmed. It is natural for people to be scared of change, and the fear of genetically altered food is a prime example of
Conventionally raised cattle have long been fed fats and proteins along with grass and grains; it helps them gain weight more quickly. Unfortunately, much of the fat and protein they’ve been fed in more recent times comes from other animals. This to me is a huge ethical issue; we have gone from letting our cattle naturally eat grass, which they have always done, to changing their diets to something completely different. The FDA still permits cattle to eat feed containing byproducts of pigs, fish, chicken, and horses, among other animals, to promote weight gain. This weight gain is not necessary, it is just desired because cattle can be slaughtered at a younger age and more meat can be produced.
For example if a given food can be modified to be grown in a new environment, farmers would be able to grow, eat and sell the genetically modified food. Genetically modified food may increase access to food for the world's population if it can be produced in greater amounts for less money. So later on our population will double. Genetically modified foods allow farmers to use fewer
The great need for food brings forth the importance of the agriculture industry. Science has made many products that allow for food production to be done in a more efficient, cheaper, and faster manner. In the beef industry many types of growth stimulators have been created to increase weight per day of age, shorten finishing time and maximize profit for the producer. More recently, developed products with the common name, beta-agonist, have been developed. Beta-agonists have distinct advantages and disadvantages in terms of animal welfare, meat quality, and profitability when used in production.
Genetically Engineered Foods Food is the esscence of life and without it, life would fail to exist; however, the wrong nature of food can lead to the same fatal outcome. Foods that are genetically engineered are based on the premise that foods are made better for humans in many different ways (Eschholz and Rosa 537). Using the latest technology, scientists are able to create crops that are more productive to feed the ever growing population or by introducing new traits into already existing foods to make them overall better; it is easy to see why many people would think that this new technology is just another improvement in everyday lives. When modifying the food, scientists take a gene from one species and insert it into a new species to enhance desired traits such as resistance to herbicides or to provide more nutritional results. This way of improving foods has been taking place traditionally by just crossing two plants together and hoping that the new traits are taken without any negative ones (543).
Livestock also can have an economic value for a culture. The American cattle industry has helped bring wealth and trade for the plains states and America as a whole. The Cattle industry which began in the early 19th century helped spur American growth and wealth. The cattle industry was a major driving force behind the railroad. There are many more examples of how livestock and meat impact a culture and show the reasons why most cultures will place a high value on meat versus plants.
These vaccines have cured many sick animals back to normal and likewise enhanced their health in many ways. A successful vaccine that is tested on an animal could save and improve thousands and millions of lives, so why should we not do it? Opponents might say that animal testing is cruel and inhumane, but these animals are already a part of the nature’s food
Nowadays vegetarianism is promoted widely since people are concerning beauty and healthy. Also, some animal-right defenders are trying to save the animals by not eating them and be a vegetarian. In traditional, human beings are classified as omnivore since we eat meat and vegetables as food to gain energy and nutrition in general. In 20th century, some researches stated that vegetarian has a healthier life and longer life span. However, do vegetarians healthier and have a longer live-span than meat eater?
One possible approach is to regulate agricultural and industrial activity so that pollution and disruption to natural habitats is kept to a minimum. People argue that economic prosperity must be curtailed if it comes at the expense of the environment. However, businesses affected are unlikely to comply with such a strategy. It may even generate hostility to conservation efforts generally if the economic costs are perceived to be too high. An alternative approach would be to protect and expand nature reserves so that complete ecosystems can be kept intact.
