The good news? No land-based salmon farms operate in the UK – yet.

A global movement is rising to #PullThePlug and stop this destructive industry before it becomes the new normal.

Land-based salmon farming is an environmental and ethical disaster:
⚠️ Drains the ocean of wild fish, stolen from coastal communities for salmon feed
⚠️ Devours water and energy
⚠️ Risky tech with frequent failures, pollution, mass die-offs
⚠️ Causes suffering on an industrial scale

(3/5)

What is land-based salmon? It’s industrial fish farming in tanks.

Salmon – born to swim through rivers and seas – are now crammed into sterile tanks under artificial lights inside factories.

From wild rivers to prison tanks. It’s absurd and cruel. (2/5)

💪The power of communities!

Across Ireland, the National Biogas Concern Group network is standing up against the government’s large-scale biogas expansion plans. Recently, they brought their concerns to the Irish Parliament.

We willen toch allemaal eten op ons bord dat eerlijk, duurzaam en gezond is?🍽️

✏️Ons huidige voedselsysteem biedt die keuze vaak niet. 29 oktober is een kans om daar verandering in te brengen!

🌾🚜Today is #GlobalFertilizerDay, but the truth is:

Chemical fertilisers poison our food, pollute water & air, and tie food prices to fossil fuel markets.

A black barrel on an orange background, with a big plume of toxic smoke coming from the barrel. The text reads: Chemical fertilisers fail the world. From toxic air to poisoned water, they leave destruction in every part of the food system, fuelling pollution, emissions, and corporate control. A black barrel against a backdrop of agricultural land. The text reads: How do fertilisers fail the world? Overuse of chemical fertilisers is fuelling climate breakdown, polluting land and water, and driving up food prices. It's time to shift away from fossil-based agriculture.

Today marks the start of the European Biomethane Week, where producers, users, investors, and legislators aim to further boost the ongoing upscaling of biomethane.

🗣️We have been saying it for a while: a filled plate with farmed fish here means an empty plate for a local fisher in Senegal.

In her speech today, Commissioner vdL said her deregulation campaign is making life easier for businesses, saving them costs.

Yesterday, 470 organisations denounced that people and planet will pick up the bill.

Time to set the EU on a different path!

Stop toxic trade. Pesticides banned in Europa should not be exported to other countries. Toxic here = toxic there. Today 600+ organisations from all over the globe call on the EU to stop this violation of human rights.
