  1. That is a huge, broad, question covering a whole industry. There are organic and sustainable practices and there are non- organic and non-sustainable ones. Each involves the sowing and reaping of the bounty of the planet. Beyond that, it is all just the details of the individual in the pursuit of that bounty.


  2. animals are raised as profit and not as a natural animal with feelings, they are crammed into small living quarters, get no vet care and are treated inhumane, suffer abuses and diseses from overcrowding, suffer many sicknesses and severe injuries

  3. The term Good Agricultural Practices can refer to any collection of specific methods, which when applied to agriculture, produce results that are in harmony with the values of the proponents of those practices. There are numerous competing definitions of what methods constitute "Good Agricultural Practices", so whether a practice can be considered "good" will depend on the standards you are applying.
