The future of poultry meat industry waste management is a sustainable future of Net-Gain for the planet.

Continuous over-application of poultry litter (PL) on cropland in excessive, nonagronomic amounts will increase levels of unstable nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in soil in addition to toxic levels of cadmium, zinc, copper, and arsenic, eventually making resulting crops unsafe for human consumption. Raw, unstabilized poultry litter also continues to emit ammonia as a GHG air pollutant and together with soil micro-biome disruption, compaction, and lack of cover crops and nitrogen-fixing crop rotation, can diminish the long term fertility and ability to sequester carbon in cropland, thereby threatening global food security.

Excessive amounts of unstable nutrients from field applied PL pollutes water resources through storm and irrigation run-off into bodies of water and through leaching into wells and aquifers that supply drinking water. Unstable forms of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) fertilizers from untreated PL contaminate ground water, lakes, streams and municipal water systems as a non-point source pollution that can cause harmful algal blooms (HABs) and eutrophication (accelerated aging) in some of our nation’s most important waterways including the Chesapeake Bay, Lake Erie, and the Gulf of Mexico.

Volatilized ammonia emissions caused by PL represent greenhouse gases (GHGs), which interact with other emissions and sunlight to contribute to low altitude atmospheric ozone. The resulting smog has a negative respiratory health impact on adjacent human populations. Field-application of unprocessed PL as fertilizer also exacerbates volatilized ammonia off-gassing that exposes water bodies indirectly to acidification through precipitation. The negative impacts of the conventional poultry industry are also magnified by the need for proximity to transportation links and land use regulations. The resulting concentration of broiler farms, place undue pressure on local communities, watersheds, and eco-systems to manage increased pollution and bio-security risk.
