This is urgent. It’s time to end cruelty to animals in factory farming.
No Future for Factory Farming
A Just Transition for UK farming
Farming
A better way forward for farmers, animals, and the environment
The UK’s food system is at a turning point. While factory farming keeps expanding, pushing animals into cramped, unnatural conditions, forward-thinking farmers are proving there’s a better way - one that works for animals, the environment, and farm businesses.
Our latest research shows that by raising animals in natural settings such as woodlands, we can produce high-welfare food at competitive prices while tackling climate change.
The reality of UK farming today:
- Farmers are struggling with rising costs and climate challenges
- Factory farming is growing, keeping animals confined indoors
- Government subsidies often overlook innovative, sustainable practices
- The hidden environmental costs of intensive farming are passed onto the planet
Let’s transform the future of UK farming
Looking at real farms across the UK, we’ve seen that raising animals in woodlands and using natural grazing can:
- Let animals live more naturally
- Restore the environment by capturing carbon through the panting of trees
- Help farmers cut costs and boost profits
- Open up new income streams through sustainable land management
At Brodoclea Woodland Farm in Scotland, for example, pigs roam freely among trees, foraging naturally and improving the land. With the right support, farms like this can produce high-welfare food at the same cost as factory farms.
We're calling for...
📢 Farm subsidies that support sustainable practices
📢 Incentives for farmers restoring nature
📢 True cost accounting for different farming methods.
