1. I get the idea of not liking factory farms but they’re kinda necessary right now for our current food needs. Maybe in the future it won’t be but for now this is good for European food independence.

2. What’s the issue with this? Europe wants to be independent and the current global geopolitical landscape is very unstable. This give them an extra layer of food security as well leverage that they could use in the future.

3. “The data shows that the Environment Agency carried out about 17 inspections of intensive livestock units a week in which 75% of those inspections found breaches.

   The breaches include slurry pits in disrepair, causing them to leak and pollute the local environment, and a serious case in which a site of special scientific interest was polluted by animal effluent. There were also some serious air pollution incidents and numerous breaches involving the over-stocking of animals.”

   Factory farming is horrible for the animals, for the environment, for the people working there. Stop financing it!
