It is located only 100 meters away from the industrial pig farm Vandvaerksgaarden in the small village of Tingerup. The presence of the farm has a big impact on her life, she reported to Greenpeace Nordic in Denmark. She often gets headaches, which she has to treat with medication. She also has to leave her home when the smell is really bad. Ellen said: “When the wind blows from East and South, it stinks so much, that I cannot breathe outside. I get diarrhoea and have to go inside or leave my property. The vents in my new windows are always shut to keep the smell out. The noise from trucks and tractors is a permanent nuisance. My quality of life has significantly deteriorated”.Locations:Denmark-Europe-TingerupDate:13 Mar, 2019Credit:© Greenpeace / Wildlight / Selene MagnoliaMaximum size:4793px X 3595pxKeywords:Agriculture-Air pollution-Factory Farming-Houses-Illness-Indoors-KWCI (GPI)-Local population-Meat-Meat and Dairy (campaign title)-Medications-One person-Pigs-Sadness-Victims-WomenShoot: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 SelectionFactory Farms in Europe - Tight Edit
