Yellow graphic with text which says "Factory Farms Consume Nearly Half the World's Grain." Pie chart which looks like a globe shows factory farming at just below half. Text reads, "This grain could feed an extra 2 billion people per year."

Our food should be feeding people - not factory farms.

Industrial animal agriculture is the world’s biggest cause of food waste, trapping us in an inefficient, harmful system.

A small piglet walking on grass with flowers. There is a quote from Philip Lymbery, Global CEO of Compassion in World Farming which says: "Ending factory farming is not just a moral choice. It is now a geopolitical necessity."

In his latest blog, @philip-ciwf.bsky.social explores the dangerous fragility of our current food system – and how factory farming is amplifying the risks.

We must build a kinder, more resilient system for animals, people and our shared future.

Hoppy #Easter 🐰

Did you know rabbits can reach speeds of 35 miles per hour and can jump around 3 feet high?

They need space to run & hop and should never be forced to spend their lives cramped in a cage.

A fish in the sea. Text reads: Fish are sentient. They are intelligent, feel pain and form social bonds.

It’s #AquaticAnimalDay 🐟

Without species‑specific welfare standards, billions of farmed fish endure stressful conditions, rough handling and poor water quality.

They can feel pain - and they need protection.

Did you know mother hens use their wings to keep their chicks warm and dry? 🐔🐤

Great news! The Spanish Government has introduced new guidelines which exclude the purchase of caged eggs for any public services 🎉

Yellow infographic highlighting food waste sources. Bar chart shows factory farming at 766 million tonnes, households at 631 million tonnes and food service at 290 million tonnes. Text reads: "Factory farms are the single largest source of food waste."

Do you know the world’s biggest cause of food waste? Food that could feed up to 2 billion people a year disappears into feeding animals in factory farms, leaving hunger & food system instability in its wake.

Stop the grain drain: Feed people, not factory farms Sign the open letter calling on governments to feed people, not factory farms — a wasteful, cruel system that harms the planet and drains public resources.

For every hectare used for pigs & chickens, 99 more grow feed. That’s food we could use to nourish people.

The stage is set in Brussels this #WorldCageFreeDay!

We’re here united with the #EndTheCageAge coalition and cage-free farmers, calling on @ec.europa.eu to keep it's commitment and ban cages.
For animal welfare, democracy, & a resilient food system, it’s time for the Commission to keep its promise.

This #WorldCageFreeDay starts the countdown for @ec.europa.eu to deliver the long-promised animal welfare reforms — including a cage ban.

Together with farmers leading the way, we’ll stand in front of @ec.europa.eu to say loud & clear: cages belong in history books.

In the EU, factory farms use twice as much grain as all conventional food waste combined. Food that could feed millions of people is feeding factory farms instead.

These farms also trap animals in miserable lives.

A cow with black and white markings lays down on flowery grass with a blue sky in the background. The text is a quote from Compassion in World Farming's Global CEO, Philip Lymbery, which says: "Labels can be powerful tools for better farming, but only when they’re transparent, trusted and genuinely reflective of what’s happening on the ground."

In his latest op-ed in @scotsman.com, @philip-ciwf.bsky.social highlights the importance of honest food labelling.

Only with genuine transparency can we build a food system that treats farmers fairly, informs consumers accurately & upholds higher standards for animals.

An octopus swimming in the ocean. Text reads: Octopus farming would be disastrous for the environment, oceans and food security. #KeepThemWild. The word 'disastrous' is highlighted in red and underlined.

Octopus farms would subject these amazing animals to horrific conditions.

They would be forced into crowded, intensive tanks, leading to stress, aggression - and potentially even cannibalism.

Octopus farming would also harm food security & pollute waterways. Learn more: buff.ly/h75dx3s

A carp lying on the ground outside of water, gasping for air. Text reads: Did you know: there are no species-specific laws protecting farmed fish from cruelty.

Fish are one of the most farmed animals on the planet, but sadly, they’re also one of the least protected.

It’s crucial that fish aren’t forgotten.
