Intensive Dutch livestock farming causes €9 billion in health, climate damage per year
Intensive livestock farming in the Netherlands causes at least 9 billion euros in damage to health and the environment every year, according to calculations by economist Max van der Sleen for the environmental group Mobilization for the Environment (MOB). That makes the damage caused by livestock farming three times higher than its added value, which amounts to 3 billion euros according to figures from Wageningen Economic Research, Financieele Dagblad reports.
