Agricultural air pollution seems to be a tough nut to crack. Amy Hall explores the air-pollution problem down on the farm.
Next to clean enough air, food is one of humans’ most basic needs. But the way it’s produced could be making it harder for us to breathe.
Towns and cities are often the assumed battlegrounds in the fight against air pollution, but there is another, perhaps more contentious, location: agriculture.
