Did you know that farmed fish have no legal protection for their welfare? 💔

This is unacceptable; they are sentient, intelligent animals that feel pain & can suffer – just like land animals.

We were busy at COP30 in Brazil last week.
Follow our Global Communications Manager, Becky Wilson, as she helped champion our message to policymakers at the conference. We cannot solve the climate crisis without transforming the way we produce food.

This #WorldFisheriesDay, we're highlighting the complete lack of sustainability with octopus farming. Nueva Pescanova's planned farm would require THOUSANDS of tonnes of wild-caught fish, stealing food from vulnerable communities.

We must #StopOctopusFarming.

Over 2,800 cows have been stranded at sea for over 60 days.

We’re calling on the WOAH to use their influence to ensure the ship docks at the nearest port, so the animals can get the care they urgently need.

We must #BanLiveExports

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
