In essence, “there is no public evidence to suggest that any of these companies are planning to fundamentally alter their large-scale livestock production and processing model”. The Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP) also denounces the attempt by these large companies to shift responsibility onto both European farmers and consumers. Even if the latter were to consume less meat and milk, this would have “limited effects” in reducing emissions from European livestock farming, due to the high proportion of exports, notes the report.
