Extensive farming is NOT the solution.

The solution is eating less animal-based foods (meat, dairy, eggs, etc), which require vastly more land to produce the same amount of food calories.

The land thus freed from farming could be rewilded, benefiting nature, climate, people.

Is the #AMOC approaching a tipping point? Here's my take after researching this topic for over 30 years. Open access, peer-reviewed, in full colour & understandable for non-experts.

Capitalism is incompatible with a livable planet.

Six years after this massive financial and logistical effort (over several years) by the European Commission: 25 member states still disregard a 30-year-old #animalwelfare #pig directive. Piglets are systematically tail-docked. Not one single infringement procedure was launched.

Sadly true, the 🇪🇺 didn’t do much - if anything - on #FarmAnimalWelfareEU under this term.

After the European Commission failed to deliver on its promise to #EndTheCageAge , despite the appeal of over 1.4 million citizens, one has to wonder: ' Are ECIs worth the effort?' 🤔

11/ Leading experts warn that “It has become abundantly clear that governments don’t act on #Climate without pressure from civil society: threatening and silencing activists thus seems to be a new form of anti-democratic refusal to act on climate”

My god this is HUGE. HUGE.
Immense thanks to the KlimaSeniorinnen - heroines, every single one of them. My god.

A coalition of environmental + #animalwelfare groups - including Compassion in World Farming - is calling on the World Bank to phase out financial support for large-scale industrial farming, including the building of pig farming tower blocks in 🇨🇳.

'The best way to help bees? Don’t become a beekeeper like I did.'

Most people still think farming bees for (or buying) honey somehow 'helps nature', but in reality it does the exact opposite.

🐷 💧 Welcome to Europe's (drying) pig farm

In Osona - one of the most pig dense regions - 40% of fountains with running water are polluted by nitrates & farm animal consumption already exceeds that of people, as record drought sweeps Catalonia.

“The pig industry is profitable because it’s part of an integrated,  industrialized model that “has nothing to do with rurality.”
“It’s an industry: Just like you would make Coca-Cola, you make pigs,” Thousands of pigs are slaughtered every day in Catalonia.”

Lots of hand-wringing about whether various dairy products might have H5N1 in them. I’ll leave that to food safety experts to show the actual data (haven’t seen it yet), but may I humbly suggest that now is a great time to try plant-based dairy products that DEF don’t have H5N1…

Did you know more than 80% of the public money given to farmers through CAP went to animal products in 2013?

A shift to more #PlantBased diets will be critical for achieving higher #AnimalWelfare and more #SustainableFoodSystems in the EU. The Guardian ⬇️ theguardian.com/environment/20…
