Fix the Food Chain

Ashdown FoE is participating in the national Friends of the Earth "Food Chain" campaign which seeks to expose the devastating impact of factory-farmed meat and dairy, and to challenge MPs to change the deal behind our meals.

Few people realise that the meat and dairy industry causes more climate-changing emissions than every plane, train and car on the planet. But a hidden chain stretches from UK factory farms to the rainforests of South America, where huge soy plantations are wiping out wildlife and making climate change worse.

Ashdown FoE will be raising awareness locally and campaigning for a Sustainable Livestock Bill to be introduced at the end of 2009
