Urgent plans for urgent time
“Without a rapid transition away from factory farming, we will not avoid climate catastrophe”. Friends of the Earth 2020
“More energy is used in factory farming, due to the need for cooling, heating and ventilation of these facilities, leading to higher emissions of carbon dioxide. Pig and poultry factory farms contribute heavily to the global emissions of methane from pig slurry and nitrous oxide from poultry manure” Compassion in World Farming 2019
