Farms Not Factories is a non-profit organisation working through film-making and campaigning to support the ‘food sovereignty’ movement by exposing the true costs of cheap meat from animal factories to inspire consumers to only buy meat from local, healthy, high welfare farms. Our long term vision is a world without animal factories We believe pork from animal factories carries hidden costs: - The globalisation of our livestock system, undermining small scale, high welfare farmers and resulting in the loss of food sovereignty. - Animal abuse through confinement, overcrowding, illegal tail docking, illegal lack of bedding, neglect and denial of natural behaviours. - Threats to public health through antibiotic overuse which leads to antibiotic-resistant diseases that pass from pigs to humans. - Pollution of the air, sickening local residents, and of the water table, rivers lakes and the sea causing eutrophication (nutrient overload), fish kills and destruction of aquatic wildlife. - Destruction of Rainforest and Cerrado forest in S America to grow genetically modified soya which is shipped 8,000 miles to factory farms in Europe. Factory farming of any species is wrong. Our focus on pigs is designed to bring light onto an issue about which there is insufficient public awareness, using our specific expertise developed from years of film-making, research and campaigning. We work collaboratively with other groups who focus on other important areas of work – such as policy change, supporting producers and campaigning locally to provide content, support their work and spread a shared message through film.
