Access to Pasture
Affordability
The extent to which a person or household has the financial capacity to purchase or access a product, service, or basic necessity without facing undue financial burden; often measured relative to income or the local economy in a given place.

Air Quality
A critical resource for life on earth. Air must be monitored to control and lower pollution levels, reduce dust and PM emissions, and ensure healthy air quality overall. Air pollution can impair visibility, harm human health, discourage plant growth, pollute water sources, and leach nutrients from soil.

Animal Feed
A formulated mixture of ingredients designed to provide essential nutrients to livestock and poultry; typically includes grains, protein sources, vitamins, and minerals, and aims to meet dietary requirements for growth, health, and reproduction; properly balanced animal feed is crucial for livestock and poultry farming to ensure optimal nutrition and productivity.

Animal Feed
Animal Protein
Proteins derived from animal sources, (e.g., meat, eggs, dairy, fish); constitutes essential amino acids crucial for human nutrition; while rich in nutrients, concerns about environmental impact and ethical considerations have led to the exploration of alternative protein sources such as plants, fungi, and lab-cultured proteins.

Antibiotic-Free Crops
Bedding
When indoors, clean, dry, mold-free bedding must be available to all animals at all times. Bedding must be replenished when needed to ensure the base of the holding area is covered and dry and must not cause discomfort or harm to the animals.

Cage-Free
Eggs or poultry produced by hens that are not confined to traditional cages; while the label suggests improved animal welfare compared to conventional caged systems, the specific conditions can vary; cage-free systems generally allow hens more space to move, spread their wings, and engage in natural behaviors, but other welfare aspects need consideration.
