		<description><![CDATA[When grain is fed to animals there is an obvious net loss of food compared to using the grain to feed humans. With beef this can be as high as using 10 kg of grain for each kilo of beef. Pigs are more efficient and chicken better still.

Good crop growth depends on sufficient soil nitrogen, and in the past farmers spread [...]]]></description>
