Some students are trying to convince their parents to let them raise backyard chickens. They want to present a logical argument on how raising your own chickens reduces food waste. In 3-5 sentences, construct an argument for how raising livestock yourself can help you reduce, reuse, and recycle waste.

Raising backyard chickens enables individuals to reduce food waste by utilizing kitchen scraps and leftovers as feed for the chickens. The chickens recycle this waste into high-quality fertilizer, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers and closing the organic waste loop. Additionally, the chickens' regular egg production reduces the demand for commercially produced eggs, which often result in wasteful packaging and transportation. By taking responsibility for raising livestock ourselves, we can actively contribute to reducing, reusing, and recycling waste in our daily lives.
