World Environment Day (today, 5th June) is a time to celebrate the diversity and richness of our natural world. It is also a time for organisations, Governments and individuals around the globe to reflect on the action that needs to be taken to protect the environment.

This year, World Environment Day coincides with the global COVID-19 pandemic. We have been working hard to ensure that world leaders understand the connections between the threats to our health, and the threats to our environment – and the significance of factory farming in both.

Advocating at the highest levels

Yesterday (4th June), our Global CEO Philip Lymbery, spoke with UN Environment Programme Executive Director Inger Andersen, and Chef Louise Mabulo, about biodiversity and our food system. During the fascinating discussion, Philip said: “The future of food is regenerative farming. Farming in a way that produces food in harmony with nature.”
