What is the impact of livestock farming on pollution?

Livestock farming can contribute to various forms of pollution. Manure from livestock can release ammonia and other pollutants into the air, contributing to air pollution and the formation of fine particulate matter. Manure runoff can also contaminate water bodies with nutrients, pathogens, and pharmaceuticals, leading to water pollution and public health concerns. The production of livestock feed often involves the use of fertilizers and pesticides, further contributing to environmental pollution.
