It is situated around 60 kilometers west of Copenhagen and is dominated by a big pig factory farm.Many surfaces in the village are covered with green algae. The inhabitants believe that it grows heavily because it is nourished by the nitrogen emitted from the farm.The village was once vibrant, with small farms and a rich social life, but now the factory farm dominates the picture and the problems arising from the farm are the “talk of the town”.Locations:Baarup-Denmark-EuropeDate:13 Mar, 2019Credit:© Greenpeace / Wildlight / Selene MagnoliaMaximum size:4608px X 3456pxKeywords:Agriculture-Air pollution-Algae-Close ups-Day-Factory Farming-Houses-KWCI (GPI)-Meat-Meat and Dairy (campaign title)-Outdoors-Pigs-TreesShoot: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
