Transitioning to regenerative farming practices is not only environmentally friendly, it's economically beneficial too. According to an article from the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, farmers stand to see significant increases in crop yields and profits with a return on investment ranging from 15-25%. This underscores the immense potential of sustainable agriculture in driving both productivity and profitability. Let's continue championing and investing in practices that benefit our planet and the bottom line. 🌾 #RegenerativeFarming #Sustainability #Agriculture #Crops #SustainableAgriculture #RegenerativeAgriculture #Regenerative

Following 50 years of campaigning, Great Britain has finally banned the barbaric live exports trade, meaning thousands of farmed animals will be spared the horror of long journeys where they suffer overcrowding, exhaustion, dehydration, pain & stress.

We will be sharing a video exposing the cruelty of this trade - join us by sharing it and calling for a ban on shipping calves and other farmed animals overseas for profit.
