#Food

Our future is threatened by a runaway broken food system. Powerful forces are feeding our addiction to meat and dairy.

A broken system
Corporations are destroying forests - grabbing land for cattle grazing, as well as for corn and soy feed. Cows, pigs and chickens are abused and slaughtered in factories. Livestock farming emits as much planet-heating gasses into the air as all cars and trucks globally.

What’s worse, megafarms receive obscene amounts of money from governments to expand. These farms expel animal waste pollution into our waterways that kills off marine life. If we continue down this path, we will push nature to the brink and risk the spread of animal diseases that harm our own health.

Sustainable food for all
Greenpeace demands a healthy future that ensures our children live in a world with fresh air, abundant forests and a stable climate. Luckily, a global movement is growing in response: one with the appetite for a better way of eating and producing food.

We must say no to massive government subsidies to expand megafarms. We must eat less meat and dairy and more plants. We must demand a global food system that is fair and sustainable for farmers and food workers. Together, we’re determined to change the future of food.
