Engineering design processThe engineering design process, also known as the engineering method, is a common series of steps that engineers use in creating functional products and processes. The process is highly iterative - parts of the process often need to be repeated many times before another can be entered - though the part(s) that get iterated and the number of such cycles in any given project may vary. It is a decision making process (often iterative) in which the basic sciences, mathematics, and engineering sciences are applied to convert resources optimally to meet a stated objective.
Impact environnemental de l'élevageL'impact environnemental de l'élevage, intensif ou extensif, inclut la consommation d'eau et d'énergie, un risque de pollution de l'eau, et une substitution des forêts par des prairies destinées à l'élevage du bétail, ou des prairies par des cultures annuelles destinées à l'alimentation animale. Certaines sources évoquent aussi une plus forte contrainte sur les territoires, une réduction de la biodiversité et une production de gaz à effet de serre.
