Farming externalities are believed to co-vary negatively, yet trade-offs have rarely been quantified systematically. Here we present data from UK and Brazilian pig production systems representative of most commercial systems across the world ranging from
(Davis, 1939). The conclusions drawn from Davis's ambitious study have since been critically scrutinized, and so have similar findings in non-human animals (Galef, 1991;Strauss, 2006).
