Ban new intensive poultry farming

Factory farming is a pressing issue that cannot be ignored any longer. The impact of intensive poultry farming on our environment, particularly on our rivers like the Wye, is alarming. If we continue on this path without making significant changes, we could see irreversible damage to our ecosystems.

The concentration of chicken production in the hands of large corporations like Avara, owned by Cargill, puts farmers at a disadvantage. These companies hold the power in the supply chain, dictating practices that are harmful to the environment. It is crucial for the government to step in and regulate these businesses, ensuring fair prices for high welfare production and incentivizing nature-friendly practices.

The rise in consumer demand for chicken has led to the exploitation of industrial breeds that rely heavily on soya feed. This has fueled the destruction of ecosystems in Latin America, where soya production is driving deforestation and pesticide poisonings. It is clear that the current model of intensive poultry farming is unsustainable and destructive.

A recent poll has shown that the majority of people are willing to eat less chicken if it means protecting our rivers and the environment. This shift in consumer behavior is a positive sign that change is possible. With over 30,000 signatures on a petition calling for a ban on new intensive poultry units, it is evident that there is growing support for a more sustainable approach to farming.

The government’s River Wye Action Plan acknowledges the devastating impact of intensive agriculture and the poultry industry on the Wye. However, more needs to be done to address the root causes of this issue and prevent similar damage to other rivers across the UK. A coordinated approach is necessary to tackle the widespread impact of intensive poultry farming on our environment.

It is time to take decisive action to protect our rivers and wildlife. By banning new intensive poultry units and promoting sustainable farming practices, we can begin to reverse the damage that has been done. Farmers deserve resilient and sustainable businesses, and our wildlife depends on healthy rivers for their survival.

Cathy Cliff, a campaigns advisor at the Soil Association charity, has been at the forefront of advocating for sustainable and healthy diets. Her work highlights the detrimental effects of intensive poultry farming and ultra-processed diets on our environment. It is up to all of us to support initiatives like the petition to stop the destruction caused by factory farming and ensure a more sustainable future for our planet.

Sign the petition now! Let’s take action now to protect our rivers and wildlife before it’s too late.
