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.
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.
