How ambitious is the @EU_Commission's plan to make animal farming sustainable, accessible, and resilient?
Our Head of EU Vinciane Patelou explains 👇
Our full analysis of the Livestock Strategy is in the comments.
Our food system is pushing our planet to the limit.
But we can change course: the Good Food for All ECI calls on the @EU_Commission to transform food production and support sustainable diets.

Good news: The EU's Livestock Strategy confirms the EU will propose legislation to ban cages for laying hens & sows.
But mlns of other animals will still suffer in cages.
5 years ago, the @EU_Commission promised to ban cages completely. It must #EndtheCageAge for all animals.
BREAKING: The @EU_Commission’s #LivestockStrategy confirms plans to free 160M+ hens & pigs a year from cruel cages.
This action is long overdue - if only partial.
But if delivered, it’ll be a major victory for #EndTheCageAge & the 1.4M citizens who fought for change 🐔🐷
Global boom in livestock farming since 2006 is piling pressure on nature, report finds @fionaharvey
Wildlife is at risk to say nothing of the abuse of yet more #Factoryfarmed animals
“There’s been a huge increase. About 33 billion livestock mammals and poultry have been added globally in 20 years: there were 94.9 billion farmed animals ��� the number slaughtered or used for milk or eggs – in 2023, up from 61.8 billion in 2006”

🇨🇭 Switzerland pushes for more welfare transparency!
The Federal Department of Home Affairs has announced mandatory labelling for various animal products, so citizens can see when these products have come from animals who have endured painful procedures such as beak trimming.
We know human health, animal health, and the health of our environment are connected. But what does that mean in practice?

🚫 No taxpayers’ money for cruel cages.
Factory farming fails animals, farmers, and the planet.
📢 @ENVICommittee MEPs: vote for a #CAP that supports farmers in a just transition - not one that locks animals in cages and society in a climate doom loop.
The @Ireland2026eu kicks off today
With ongoing discussion on #CAP, animal transport & expected #EndtheCageAge proposals, the next 6 months could change the lives of millions of farmed animals across Europe.
The only sustainable, resilient way to farm animals is out of cages.
After 5 years of broken promises, we took action today with @Anima_Intl & the EtCA coalition urging the @EU_Commission to deliver proposals to #EndtheCageAge.

“Democracy only works when those in power listen," said Malgosia Szadkowska, @ciwf_pl's head & spox for the EtCA ECI Citizens’ Committee.
"So we are still here, we are still speaking up, and we are still demanding the same thing we demanded five years ago: #EndtheCageAge.”
Five years ago today, the @EU_Commission committed to deliver proposals to #EndtheCageAge, but so far, it has failed to deliver on its promise.
So we took action in Brussels with @CIWF_EU, @Anima_Intl & the EtCA coalition, urging the @EU_Commission to deliver proposals to #EndtheCageAge 📣
For the animals and for the millions of Europeans who demanded better!
For months, President @vonderleyen has been refusing to meet with the End the Cage Age Citizens’ Committee - despite 1.4 million EU citizens supporting the legislation to ban cages.
The @EU_Commission promised to deliver proposals to ban cages by 2023, but nearly 300 million animals in the EU are still confined to cages each year.
Tomorrow, alongside @Anima_Int and the #EndtheCageAge coalition, we’ll be in front of the Berlaymont to call for action.
