The FAO is aiming to:

- sharply increase the global aquaculture (+75% compared to 2020)

In 2023 Russia alone culled and destroyed half a million pigs due to ASF. The epidemics is still spreading in countries all over the world.

So difficult to understand the magnitude of this useless violence and waste.

Some of these efforts are funded by government.

The Beef Checkoff program, overseen by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, disperses $42 million annually to change the way you think about beef.

In 2022 the number of chickens, cows, pigs, and turkeys in the US food system exceeded 10 billion for the first time in the census’s history — up from 5.2 billion animals in 1987.

Numbers increase, especially in intensive megafarms.

One year ago, scientists were already concerned:

"Will avian influenza cause the next global pandemic? Scientists suspect highly pathogenic avian influenza may already be endemic in the Americas and Europe"

We still see no public debate on this matter.

Avian Flu is still hitting hard on Europe

Over the past two weeks, veterinary agencies from 10 of the continent’s countries have confirmed new cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in their respective poultry flocks
