[56] Existing cybersecurity measures are vastly inferior for Internet-connected devices compared to their traditional computer counterparts, [ 57 ] which can allow ...
Farm animals' digestive systems can be put into two categories: monogastric and ruminant. Ruminant cattle for beef and dairy rank high in greenhouse gas emissions. In comparison, monogastric, or pigs and poultry-related foods, are lower. The consumption of the monogastric types may yield less emissions.
