Where the Domesticated Things Are

All the world's cattle, pigs, and chickens, in map form! Demand is expected to increase by about 3/4 from 2010 to 2030. There are already about 700 million chickens on the Eastern Shore: will we squeeze 3/4 more on that land, or will we dedicate more land to that industry? Neither one is a great choice for the health of the Chesapeake. I guess it's better than in North Carolina where they raise pigs!
