Olga Kikou (Director of Advocacy) was quoted in this piece by the Brussels Times on the European Commission work program for agriculture and food, highlighting the lack of ambition of the Commission regarding animal protection and food transition.
It’s all too easy to fool ourselves when we think about where our food comes from. Say the word “farm” and the average person may think of open fields, animals roaming freely, and harmony between nature and agriculture.
In the European Commission’s Vision for Agriculture and Food, we see little that gives us confidence that things will change for animals. Is it simply a band-aid on a broken bone—covering up the issues without addressing the deeper, structural problems that need real transformation?
Alice Di Concetto (Chief Legal Advisor) will present on the protection of fish in EU and UK law at the Fish Veterinary Society’s annual conference, which will take place in Edinburgh on March 4th – 5th.
