Barn/ Cage Raised vs. Free Range

Posted on by

I am going to be looking at the issue of barn raised vs free range raised chickens and the cost that are associated with these forms of production. The other issue that will be covered is the humaneness of each method of farming. These are a social issue since we all eat chicken and are concerned with the treatment of these birds that we are consuming at a rate almost equal to all red meats.
The media objects that I will be using is the infographic and mash up video. The infographic with illustrate the treatment of chickens and give statistics on the types of uses for the chickens. I will also cover the weight consumed each year compared to other sources of meat. I will be using Illustrator to produce the infographic.
The second type of media object will be a mash up video of the living conditions and reasons behind the production of chickens and the issues they face just to feed us. In the video I will be using text along with video clips to illustrate the importance of how we treat these birds. I will also show some of the side-effects of the methods of farming of chickens. The video will cover different cultures and their methods of farming chickens.
These two objects will compliment, each other to produce a web page that will inform visitors who want to learn about the difference in types of chicken farming.
