Once released into the air, ammonia reacts with other pollutants to form fine particulate matter - one of the most dangerous forms of air pollution.⚠️
Take action to stop the spread of factory farming & cut ammonia emissions: https://t.co/zvNQUab1w7
To meet @Ed_Miliband's Carbon Budget pledges @DefraGovUK must halt the expansion of industrial animal production.
We need to move towards nature-friendly farming and eat less meat and more plants.

A new study finds human disease that originates in farmed shrimp
“When it comes to our food system, we are keeping animals like fish, cows, pigs & chickens “in cramped, unsanitary conditions so that once a pathogen does get introduced to the population, it can spread really quickly and that gives it a chance to mutate, potentially becoming more dangerous if it were to then infect people.”

"As a GP, I see firsthand the toll that air pollution takes on people’s health – and ammonia from intensive farming is a major, yet often overlooked, part of that problem"

STOP OCTOPUS FARMING
@PescanovaCorp want to build the world’s first octopus farm in the Canary Islands.
But we have a chance to stop it - by asking the port authority to close the application.

Two years ago, GB banned live exports for fattening & slaughter 🎉A huge win but animals STILL suffer worldwide. In May 4000 sheep & goats drowned near Oman.
Will you help end live exports & factory farming? https://t.co/mrAWuPDBTi

“Reducing ammonia pollution asks us to pause & reflect on balance – on how much we take, how much the land can bear, & what we choose to eat."
Our global CEO @philip_ciwf outlines the silent cost of food production & calls for nature friendly farming.

Meet Inge Vleemingh, a Dutch farmer showing that cage-free and nature friendly farming go hand in hand! 💚🌱
Inge is backing our calls to #EndTheCageAge for farmed animals across the EU and beyond. 👏
Britain is ‘sleepwalking into a food crisis’.
Security advisors have warned that food shortages are just years away.
And last year, we exposed how factory farming is ‘the world’s biggest cause of food waste’.
What will it take for policymakers to listen? https://t.co/qOxqA7xvAx
We divert colossal amounts of grain to animal feed.
But grain yields are plummeting, thanks to rising temperatures, fertiliser & energy prices.
To continue feeding a growing human population, we must urgently rethink wasteful, intensive animal farming. https://t.co/mxY5SnCzkM
“Gene editing is being used to push animals towards higher productivity, faster growth & higher milk yields,”
Peter Stevenson, our Chief Policy Advisor highlights further risks already tied to breeding for output over welfare.

Fish are sentient animals – they're intelligent, feel pain & can suffer. Yet the welfare of farmed fish is severely neglected.
Here's how you can help us #RethinkFish: https://t.co/6hT1TmVFSf
