 This problem seems intractable. Chickens are animals and animals are, in broad brushstrokes, a climate disaster. They use up resources, burn through carbon and poop out phosphorus, which has to be carefully managed. If we want to eat a living animal rather than, say, a plant, then the more living we let it do, the worse this problem becomes. Can there be a solution which brings it all together? Can we raise a bird that's high welfare and good for the planet? More importantly, can we do it at the scale we need to provide the vast number of birds we eat every year?
