Greenpeace InternationalAs war in the Middle East drives up fertiliser prices, Big Ag is moving fast to turn crisis into cash.
Agribusiness is once again weaponising “food security” fears to demand subsidies and tear up protections for people and nature.
✊ BIG WIN ‼️ Indigenous mobilisation helped revoke a decree that would’ve turned Amazon rivers into agribusiness highways.

February update: lawsuits, federal investigations and a strike vote. According to the EEOC, U.S. DOL findings and reporting by The Colorado Sun, JBS’s Greeley plant has faced serious allegations in recent years!
This goes deeper 👀 In 2023, the U.S. Department of Labor found a sanitation contractor employed minors, including children as young as 13, cleaning hazardous equipment at facilities, including Greeley. The case led to about $4M in penalties. Not a one-off 👉 Like & share! #StopBigAg
Big Ag is investing heavily in greenwashing at #COP30, with lobbyists, pavilions, PR – the whole works.
And while they pour money into protecting their image, we’re landed with the climate bill. See through the spin. Demand real action ✊

Reimagine Food Systems - A Call For Agricultural Emissions Reductions | Reimagine Food Systems - A coalition for agriculture transition
Urging COP30 delegations to embrace a just transition from industrial agriculture to agroecology is vital. This includes advocating for binding agricultural emissions reduction targets, promoting plant-based diets, and drastically reducing food waste to meet global climate targets.
During dry season, the Amazon region chokes on smoke from fires deliberately set to clear new land for cattle, poisoning local communities with toxic air.
Sign the petition to urge world leaders at #COP30 to end forest destruction at the hands of industrial agriculture. 👉 act.gp/RespectTheAmazon
The climate crisis demands accountability from Big Ag, just as it does from Big Oil.

Five meat companies – JBS, Marfrig, Tyson, Minerva and Cargill – combined emit more greenhouse gases than Chevron, Shell or BP.
Around 80% of these emissions come from cattle.
While science calls for reducing livestock emissions, Big Meat and Dairy are expanding fast.
The world’s biggest meat empire, JBS, plans to grow 70% by 2050 while walking back its climate commitments.
🚨 New report: Big Meat and Dairy are roasting the planet 🥩🌡️
A new investigation by Greenpeace Nordic, Foodrise, Friends of the Earth US and the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy exposes the colossal climate footprint of the world’s meat and dairy giants.
Their emissions now rival Big Oil.

Greenpeace responds to New Zealand’s dairy industry-backed methane rollback - Greenpeace International
New Zealand’s government has confirmed it will rewrite its climate law to weaken the country’s methane emissions target – a move Greenpeace warns will violate the Paris Agreement and embolden other major meat and dairy producers and exporters, including Ireland and Uruguay, to follow suit.
