Welcome!

Stop Factory Farming Europe is a new project that connects NGOs, activists, and communities resisting factory farming across Europe.  Please explore upcoming actions, news and resources  and stories.

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.
