The distance is around 80 meters, and the heavy smell from the stalls and the smoke from the furnace according to them is overwhelming. This picture is taken from their bedroom balcony, so the farm and its chimneys are what they see. The farm, which used to be small, has grown into a big industrial facility, and shortly before the photo was taken the municipality authorized a 19 meter expansion of one of the stables. The expansion is close to Eckhard’s and Bente’s house, so their concerns will only get worse. The old couple has been living in their house for 32 years.Locations:Baarup-Denmark-EuropeDate:14 Mar, 2019Credit:© Greenpeace / Wildlight / Selene MagnoliaMaximum size:5056px X 3792pxKeywords:Agricultural structures-Agriculture-Air pollution-Day-Factory Farming-KWCI (GPI)-Meat-Meat and Dairy (campaign title)-Outdoors-Pigs-SilosShoot:Pig Factory Farms in DenmarkDenmark produces more than 31 million pigs annually, which, together with the annual production of 1.5 million cattles, makes up 19 percent of Denmark’s total greenhouse gas emissions. Inside the walls of industrial farms, animals’ existence are reduced to short lives inside small booths or cages. Besides its effect on the climate, meat production in Denmark further has a negative impact on the local environment, landscape, biodiversity and public health.Greenpeace Nordic in Denmark demands a reduction in the number of pigs and cattles produced by the meat industry in Denmark. The decrease in amount of agricultural land used for production of animal feed should simultaneously give space to more nature, forest and production of organic, plant-based crops. Furthermore, the public system has to contribute to a transition of the consumption of less meat and more green foods.Related Collections:Factory Farms in Europe - Full Selection
