What is the idea of confinement production?

Confinement production refers to a method of raising livestock, particularly in controlled environments like feedlots or intensive farming systems, where animals are kept in limited spaces. This approach aims to maximize efficiency and productivity by closely managing feed, health, and overall conditions. While it can lead to higher yields and lower production costs, confinement production raises concerns about animal welfare, environmental impact, and sustainability. Critics often advocate for more humane and environmentally-friendly farming practices.
