Food Chain launch appeal13 March 2009
Thousands of our supporters will start taking action to fix the food chain this month. But we also need help raising £120,000 to make it a success.
About The Food Chain Campaign
Vast swathes of forest have been cleared to grow soy
Producing soy to feed animals in factory farms is having a devastating effect on South American rainforests and other important habitats.
I saw something I'll never forget: an area of rainforest cleared to make way for a soy plantation - red, raw earth and razed trees stretched out for as far as the eye can see.
Clare Oxborrow, Senior Food Campaigner
on her recent trip to Paraguay
Clearing the forests:
- Increases the climate-changing gases in the atmosphere
- Destroys precious wildlife
- Leaves communities without land.
We want Government to shift money away from the factory farms that hold the damaging chain together - and support thriving, planet-friendly farming.
