The Food Chain Campaign
This is a new campaign focusing on the way in which most meat and dairy products are produced. The campaign aims to raise awareness of the environmental and social impacts of the intensive livestock system, and to call on the Government through MPs to support good food, thriving farms and a healthy planet. Factory farming uses massive amounts of soy as a key ingredient in animal feed. Most of this comes from huge soy plantations in Latin America. Vast swathes of land have to be cleared to grow the soy causing deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions and the loss of valuable wildlife habitat. Communities are often forced off their land and lose the ability to grow food for their families. The food on our plates should not be the final link in this destructive chain. The Food Chain campaign aims to change the way that meat and dairy is produced in the UK. The aim is to stop the Government using taxpayers money to fund big business-led factory farms, and instead support the use of home grown animal feeds and low-impact meat and dairy production.
