Introduction to our 'how to stop a factory farm!' Guide Behind a high grey wall in the rolling countryside somewhere in the middle of England is a farm that tells you everything you need to know about industrial agriculture. Vivid green fields, bushy hedgerows and wooded coverts surround the ugly sprawl of yards and livestock sheds that serve as home to thousands of cattle being fattened here for the meat trade. If you eat beef there’s a chance you’ve eaten beef from this farm as it’s one of England’s biggest. It ends up in supermarkets and restaurants and God knows where else because of the dizzyingly complex supply chains that put much of the food on our plates. It’s a feedlot. This means the cattle here don’t graze in fields and many spend their days in barren grassless pens without shade or shelter or space to roam. In America, feedlot beef is common but in England’s green and pleasant land most farmers prefer to rear their cattle on pasture. After the factory systems crossed the Atlantic, a gradual shift began and there’s now a growing number of feedlots to be found on English soil.

Factory farms across East Anglia broke environmental rules hundreds of times in recent yeast, internal Environment Agency records reveal. Incidents included waterways being contaminated with slurry, excessive odours, farms being overstock, ammonia emissions, and irregularities relating to the disposal of farm waste. The findings come as proposals for a controversial US-style megafarm in Norfolk are being considered by planning officials. One MP has tallied for a "full review" into factory framing in the region.

What can we do on the ground to help stop the rapid growth of corporate-controlled factory farms in the UK and beyond? Well we can all do something right now!

UK governments, regulatory bodies and others have failed to stop the march of ‘Big Ag’ so it’s left to ordinary people up and down the country, whose lives can be directly affected by having a factory farm on their doorstep, to take up the baton and resist, both locally and further afield.

Young people, especially, are feeling more and more climate anxiety and as campaigners, we don’t just want to bum people out all the time. This guide breaks it all down step by step to enable anyone to start acting NOW!

Campaigning is a long game and this guide will become your bible to help take you through all the angles, options and steps to help reach your goal. It is broken down into focused chapters and steps to make it easy to follow and over the next few weeks we are going to share the top lines from it here.
