Pollution: mostly nutrient pollution.

Animal production can facilitate invasive plant species and contribute to seed dispersal. Livestock are invasive species, animal production can facilitate invasive plant species, for example on grasslands. Overexploitation: an unsustainable use of species for food, medicine, etc. Livestock is an important factor because: competition with wildlife, overuse of resources as animal feed, and decreasing livestock diversity through focusing on few, more profitable breeds.
