No intensification
Remember the fight against the application for a mega dairy on your doorstep?
Whilst the local campaign group CAFFO has now disbanded since the Environment Agency refused to support the plans for the intensive dairy on Nocton Heath, one of the major support groups that worked with us to help fight the application are still fighting against intensification.
If you are interested you can view their new video here: Taking the Factory out of Farming.
It is important not to forget our other partner too, Compassion in World Farming. Whilst it was undoubtedly the Environment Agency that finally put paid to Nocton Dairies Ltd's plans, we should not under-estimate the influence that was brought to bear by the very active campaign. CAFFO were very grateful to have these major lobbying groups on-side for the duration.
You may be interested in their new campaign RAW 'The true cost of factory farming' if you really care where your food is coming from.
CIWF came to mind during the recent horse-burger fiasco - not the fault of farmers, but clearly linked to the drive to produce too much food too quickly and too cheaply ....
