Live-Animal Transport in the EU Will Remain Inhumane

Live-Animal Transport in the EU Will Remain Inhumane

28 January 2022 Paola Nano

All hopes for an EU ban of long-distance live-animal transport and a reduction of intra-EU transport went down the drain last week. Despite the appalling conditions in which animals are currently transported, the EU Parliament voted a disappointing text, that still denies animals their right to be treated as sentient beings.   A Disappointing Vote Last …

Emilia Romagna on the Path Towards Cage-Free Farms

Emilia Romagna on the Path Towards Cage-Free Farms

20 May 2021

The Commission for Economic Policies of the Legislative Assembly of Emilia-Romagna (Italy) has approved a resolution committing the Regional Council to support a transition towards cage-free animal farms that respect animal welfare. Slow Food welcomes this initiative and sees it as “an excellent start. But now is the time for a concrete framework of action: …

Another Animal Farming in Europe is Possible (it already exists)

Another Animal Farming in Europe is Possible (it already exists)

26 April 2021 Alice Poiron

In the last 70 years, industrial farming has polluted water, impoverished soils, caused suffering to animals, damaged biodiversity, destroyed forests, all to produce – mostly poor quality – meat and milk. Today, our environmental and social bills are through the roof. Yet, many small-scale agroecological farmers across Europe have turned their backs on industrial meat …

MEAT THE CHANGE: We have to go Slow with meat!

MEAT THE CHANGE: We have to go Slow with meat!

For the Slow Food network, the new year brings the Meat the Change campaign, which helps explain the impact of meat consumption and factory farms on climate change, starting with a fun quiz to inspire us to reflect on our daily habits.  The climate crisis is one of the great challenges of our generation. Governments …

The “eat less meat” movement is growing. Does it distort science? (Part 1 of 3)

The “eat less meat” movement is growing. Does it distort science? (Part 1 of 3)

20 December 2019

“There are many, many ways to raise meat, and dismissing all meat as being destructive is asinine because it ignores the significant variation in production methods and ecosystems in which meat can be produced.”

The “eat less meat” movement is growing. Does it distort science? (Part 2 of 3)

20 December 2019

If everyone in America skipped meat once a week, it would reduce total GHG emissions by only .5 percent. Even if it’s a worthy notion on social justice principles, it’s not the single solution to the climate crisis.

The “eat less meat” movement is growing. Does it distort science? (Part 3 of 3)

20 December 2019

Farming advocates see livestock not as the great climate polluters, but as essential tools in a functioning agroecological system—ones that provide a highly nutritious, salable food product. “People have a very distorted view of the important role that animals play in human health and the sustainability movement.”

Industrial Livestock Farms and Environmental Impacts

12 February 2019

Philip Lymbery, the chief executive officer of Compassion in World Farming, calls it the cascade of cruelty of intensive animal farming: on the one hand, the terrible living conditions for livestock, forced to suffer in cramped spaces, on the other, the destruction of enormous areas once covered with forests or woodland in order to grow …

A conversation with Marie-Monique Robin: the only option is optimism

A conversation with Marie-Monique Robin: the only option is optimism

30 May 2018

Marie-Monique Robin doesn’t like to stick to comfortable topics. This indefatigable Frenchwoman with 25 years of experience as an investigative journalist has produced an impressive range of hard-hitting books, reports, and documentaries. We met her during the Eu Farming and Food Forum, which is organized by the International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems (IPES-Food), to ask her a few questions.
