Meat and dairy sector ‘mirrors fossil fuel tactics’ to stall EU climate legislation: report
"Without science-based policies tackling the sector, it does not seem likely that European agricultural GHG emissions will reduce in line with 1.5°C."
Meat and dairy associations are mirroring the tactics of the fossil fuel industry in using misleading narratives to oppose sustainable food system regulation in the EU, according to a new report by InfluenceMap.
The think tank analysed the advocacy activities of the 10 largest meat and dairy companies in Europe, including Unilever, Danone, Nestlé and Cargill, as well as the five biggest industry associations, around six EU policies aiming to tackle GHG emissions in agriculture.
