This campaign has been launched to re-introduce the feeding of waste to pigs. It hopes to encourage farmers about the benefits of feeding pigs surplus food and calls for a change in European law so farmers can return to feeding pigs waste in the long term.
Specifically its goals are to:
- Liberate food supplies
- Lower feed costs for pig farmers
- Reduce economic and environmental costs of disposing of food waste
- Protect landscapes rich in biodiversity, such as the precious Amazon Rainforest
- Create jobs and revenue in the new eco-feed industry
