The top 10 European financial institutions are massively bankrolling illegal and legal deforestation for meat production in Brazil’s Amazon and Cerrado regions, thereby exacerbating climate change, biodiversity loss, public health risks and more.
Our food system faces unprecedented challenges, exacerbated by a lack of clear policy direction and government inaction. Our investigations have revealed that farmed animals in the UK are suffering more than ever as factory farming rises 13% in 5 years.
Powerful calls for change from millions of consumers and the public have led to fewer of the world’s sows being confined to crates throughout their 115-day pregnancies.
It’s past time that the hidden impacts of factory farming were laid bare. Factory farming is the cornerstone of a dangerous industrial food system that profits from the suffering of billions of cruelly farmed animals each year.
While factory farming keeps expanding, forward-thinking farmers are proving there’s a better way - one that works for animals, the environment, and farm businesses. Our latest research shows that by raising animals in natural settings such as woodlands, we can produce high-welfare food at competitive prices while tackling climate change.
Our food system is broken. It is in part causing our climate to change. And now, we are on the edge of, yet another, global human health crisis.
The health and wellbeing of animals, people and our planet are interdependent. Poor animal health and welfare in factory farming negatively affect food safety, our environment and climate.
