It’s time to stop another megafarm.

Holbeach Poultry Ltd wants to build a new factory farm that would slaughter over 3 million chickens a year – causing enormous climate and environmental harm.

It’s clear: supermarkets won’t deliver the transformation of our food system that we need.

We're calling on the government to back the alternatives that put #PurposeOverProfit – for climate, nature and justice.

Across the UK, grassroots and community-owned alternatives to supermarkets are already proving what’s possible:

🌱 Promoting healthier diets
🍎 Farmers paid three times more
💡 Less food waste and greater access to local, sustainable produce

The good news? There is clear demand for change to our supermarket-dominated food system.

Our new YouGov polling shows:
📊 54% of Brits think the best way for supermarkets to be run is by cooperatives (not private companies)
📊 65% think £1million supermarket CEO salaries are too high

The UK government’s food strategy promises to deliver a better national food system.

But expecting supermarkets to drive the transformation needed is wishful thinking at best, delusion at worst.

Big supermarkets are fundamentally unfit to deliver a food system that works for people, farmers, and the planet.

❌ Farmers exploited
❌ Junk food over fresh produce
❌ Rising food waste and climate breakdown
❌ Families locked out of healthy, affordable food

🚨 54% of people think the best way for UK supermarkets to be run is by cooperatives.

Yet profit-hungry supermarkets currently control 96% of British food retail.

Our new reports show why the corporate-led approach to is harming our food system – and highlight a better alternative. 🧵 (1/6)

Dunno how many people rocked up but rough estimate of 2.6 tons of apples picked today at Speke Hall. Am a tad tired. 🍎🍏 Thank you @foodrise.bsky.social & @nationaltrust.org.uk plus volunteers. Great work 💚
A black board sign says happy apple picking. This year’s tote bags - I ❤️ apples.

The world’s first-ever legally binding food waste reduction targets are now a reality in the EU. Here's why it matters:

👉 40% of the world’s food is wasted every year
👉Food waste generates 8–10% of global greenhouse gas emissions

Positive news! Lidl GB has achieved nearly 700% growth in its own-label plant-based products and milk alternatives since 2020.

Great to see Lidl working towards its target of supporting more sustainable diets — it's time for other retailers follow suit.

The government continues to fund meat and dairy, even in the face of undeniable scientific evidence that we urgently need to move away from animal farming.
