About Us

Meet our Partners

Partner Organisations

A caring food system for farmers, communities and animals.
 Not corporations.

Faced with the rise of big agribusiness and its factory farm system, outraged by the toxic consequences it has on our countryside, determined to protect the health of people, communities are joining forces to oppose industrial animal production and defend a small-scale farming that is local and respectful of animals, nature and our wellbeing.

Analysis of Danish biogas and livestock data shows that, despite an overall reduction trend, municipalities with the largest biogas production capacity have also experienced the greatest increases in pig or cattle numbers over the past 15 years.
