Together with more than 70 EU-based organizations, the Institute co-signed a position paper advocating for building synergies between civil society groups to achieve the implementation of sustainable food policies in the EU.
In her latest paper, our Legislative Advocacy Manager, Gabriela Kubíková, examines the legislation governing the welfare of chickens. She stresses the need for a more evidence-based approach to animal welfare law and policy, emphasizing the necessity of revising the current legislative standards – as well as entirely re-thinking the broader food system in which these and billions of other animals are exploited.
A paper co-authored by our Junior Researcher, Gladys Le Goff, with the Stockholm Environment Institute and Leiden University claims that industrial insect farming may not be the climate and animal welfare solution it is often portrayed to be. Greenhouse gas emissions generated from insect production can approach those of chicken and pork, and plant-based and cultivated proteins are more promising alternatives that should not be neglected or under-explored at the expense of investment in insect farming.
Gladys Le Goff (chargée de recherche) a écrit un article publié à la revue trimestrielle de la Fondation Droit Animal, Éthique & Sciences au sujet du statut juridique des animaux dits «d’élevage » placés en refuges.
