To meet that demand, the way these products are produced is changing. The change is from small farms to large industrial operations. This has already happened in the United States.
But not everyone is happy with the change. As a result, there is also a growing demand for products grown locally on small farms.
In Clinton, North Carolina, some old buildings are all that remain from the days when James Lame raised hogs next to his home. He saw that small farmers were having trouble competing with companies that own large farms.
He stopped raising hogs in small buildings and built two industrial-sized hog barns. Each of them holds 1,500 hogs. Nearly all pigs are raised this way in the United States now.
The government says the efficiency of large-scale production in a controlled environment has helped reduce the price of a pork chop by nearly 20% since 1998.世界各地对肉类，牛奶以及鸡蛋的需求不断增长。为了满足日益增长的需求，这类产品的生产方式正在发生改变。这个变化就是由小型农场转化成大型产业化农场。在美国（人们）已经可以看到这种改变。
但并不是所有人都对这种变化感到满意。因此，对于本地小型农场的农产品需求也在不断增加。
在北卡罗来纳州的克林顿，一些老建筑是当年詹姆斯·拉梅在家附近养猪时留下的。他目睹了小型农场在与拥有大型农场的公司竞争时遇到的麻烦。
他放弃了在小房子里养猪，并建造了两个具有产业化规模的猪舍。每个猪舍能容纳1500头猪。现在美国几乎所有的猪都是像这样喂养的。
政府表示，由于在可控环境中大规模生产的（高）效率，从1998年以来猪排价格降低了近20%。
