Explanation:

Free - range farming requires more space for animals to roam, increasing land use. Confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs) can house more animals in a smaller area. Also, free - range farming may involve higher costs for pasture maintenance, animal health (as animals are more exposed to diseases in a larger area), and lower production efficiency compared to CAFOs.

Answer:

It uses more land and is more expensive.
