Over there it is destroying the rainforest, so we are called for a Sustainable Livestock Bill, which would: 1. Switch subsidies away from intensive livestock production towards planet-friendly farming. 2. Change the menus in schools, hospitals and care homes. 3. Give farmers help to develop home-grown animal feeds.
