The protection of animal welfare on farms has gained momentum in recent years in Europe, with more and more EU citizens calling for the end of their cruel exploitation. And this is with good reason, for farm animals are considered as mere profit machines.
You’ve all seen those images of cows, pigs or chicken packed into tight cages or confined to small spaces where they spend a short but painful life. In a never-ending quest for profit, industrial farming allows farm animals to be mutilated, abused, crammed together, fed with low quality feed, and transported across the world in dreadful conditions. Overall farm animals are prevented to live according to their natural needs.
Yet, it is said that the European Union has the most advanced legislation in the world regarding animal welfare standards. So why such a gap between the European law and farming practices on the ground? How bad is the state of animal welfare in Europe, and what is being done at the EU level to right such wrongs? Also, what alternatives are there to industrial animal farming? You want the answers to these questions? No worries, Slow Food Europe investigated for you! In this episode, you will hear different points of view on this topic from:
Jacopo Goracci, farmer of local ancient breeds of cows and pigs in rural Tuscany (Italy) and coordinator of a Slow Food presidium
Andrea Gavinelli, who is in charge of the animal welfare unit at the EU Commission
Olga Kikou, European Affairs Manager at the organization Compassion in World Farming

Beschrijving

Our food chain is full of surprises and our food is handled by people you will most likely never meet. Where did your coffee come from? Who grew your cocoa for your chocolate? Who made your bread? We are about to start a journey together, finding our way through the food systems.
In every step we take, we’ll walk side by side with one of our activists around the world. These are farmers, chefs and everyone in between. These people are all contributing to a more sustainable food system and they try to enhance access to good, clean and fair food. But we will also listen to stories of indigenous culture and knowledge, which can inspire us to think in a different way.
We want to give a stage to the people, whose voices are often not taken into consideration, or who are simply overlooked in the debate around food. We want to demonstrate that we all contribute to a more sustainable food system, that everyone has a story to tell and that there's a lesson in every single one of them.
