Stop Big Ag: End Toxic Greed

Our global food system is broken, and corporate greed is to blame. While families, frontline communities, and local farmers face the devastating impacts of the climate and nature crisis, from extreme weather to skyrocketing food costs, a handful of billionaires running Big Ag are cashing in. Their greed is burning away our future.

They are relentlessly expanding cruel, polluting factory farms that poison our waterways, eat up forests and drive up methane emissions, a supercharged climate gas compared to CO2. Global leaders have let these corporate destroyers and their billionaire bosses off the hook for far too long. 

It is time to choose people over profit. Together, we can break Big Ag’s grip on our political system and force a rapid, just transition to a food system that respects nature, animals, and local communities.

The Problem: Corporate greed vs. our future

Big Ag corporations are driving ecosystem destruction and climate breakdown. While industrial livestock is the main driver of deforestation it is also the single largest human-made source of methane, a greenhouse gas responsible for roughly one-third of today’s global heating.

To protect their billions, meat and dairy giants aggressively expand polluting factory farms while using massive greenwashing campaigns to deceive both the public and politicians. They exploit farmers, animals, and our natural resources to prop up a broken, toxic system. 

This has to end.

The Solution: People Power

Ecological Farming in İstanbul

We don’t have time for incremental changes or false corporate promises. Stopping the expansion of industrial livestock right now is one of the most effective ways to cool our planet in our lifetimes, and it is also essential in the fight to put nature on a path to recovery, for the benefit of people and the planet.

By standing together, we can force governments to set binding rules that halt new factory farms and hold Big Ag accountable. A fair, healthy, and sustainable food system is possible, but we must fight for it
