Agriculture is a major driver of climate change — yet food is still missing from many climate negotiations.

This article from @lassebruun.bsky.social makes a compelling case — #COP30 must move beyond symbolic gestures and take real action on food and nature ⬇️ buff.ly/LPn70p6
Why we need a new way forward for food systems at COP30

Octopuses are solitary by nature – but Nueva Pescanova plans to intensively farm one million of them per year. Confined to underwater tanks these unique animals could become territorial & even cannibalistic

Octopuses belong in the wild.

Farming them in underwater tanks for food would inflict great suffering.

With your support, we’re fighting to stop octopus farming before it becomes a reality. 🐙

Millions of animals are transported every year - forced to endure gruelling journeys across continents, often spanning hundreds or thousands of miles.

Animals are not cargo - they deserve compassion and respect.

It's time to #BanLiveExports.

‼️📰Brian Cox, star of #Succession, has just signed our open letter asking policymakers for a more sustainable food system.

An extra 2 billion people could be fed globally, every year, if we switched to nature-friendly farming.

All animals deserve a good life, yet few farmed fish experience this & many are killed inhumanely. It’s time to #RethinkFish ➡️ buff.ly/twg13MY

In case you missed it - our new report reveals:
🐟 Nueva Pescanova's planned octopus farm could require 2 BILLION wild-caught fish in the first year.

🐟 By 2040, this number could rise to 7 BILLION – risking food insecurity for coastal communities.

They face extreme conditions such as overcrowding, exhaustion, dehydration, pain and stress.

Together, we can #BanLiveExports for good.

For every 100 calories of grain fed to farmed animals, just 3–25 calories of meat are produced.

This system is wasting food & land while also causing animal suffering.

We could feed another 2 billion people by choosing #FoodNotFeed.

Reminder: fish are also factory farmed – they're just underwater.

Sadly, farmed fish are vulnerable to cruelty & poor conditions, as there are few laws protecting them. 🐟
