At precisely the same time, environmental defenses haven't kept pace--to the contrary, environmental laws generally exempt agricultural pursuits. From discipline to feedlot, ELI's work highlights both crucial difficulties and practical chances for reform, assessing the constraints of the present law and policy frame surrounding agriculture and introducing concentrated, research-backed guidelines.
