Vandvaerksgaarden Factory Farm in Tingerup, Denmark
In the rural area around Kirke Eskilstrup in the Danish countryside, the three small villages Tingerup, Bukkerup and Baarup are being hemmed in by encroaching, industrial pig farms. The harmony of hills, fields and vegetation is disrupted by these industrial factory farms. In Tingerup, two farms are located in the village, and many houses are right next to them. The inhabitants of this small town expressed during interviews with Greenpeace Nordic in Denmark frequent horrendous smell, noise and air pollution.

Pig Factory Farms in Denmark
Denmark 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.
