Dead in the Water

Over 2,000 concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) litter southeastern North Carolina. The animal waste from these farms runs into the Cape Fear River, threatening water quality and public health. These farms are hidden in rural counties where residents are exposed to raw animal waste. Dead in the Water exposes the stories and solutions behind these industrial farms.
