No one wants to buy food that is made by destroying forests. But from our meat to our cookies, so much of the food we consume every day is made by ravaging our beautiful forests. [1]
We have a unique opportunity to change this. In a few days, the European Union will start negotiations on a new law that could ban the sale of all products made in deforested areas. [2]
Europe is the second biggest consumer market in the world - so if we win, we would have a huge impact on companies that destroy forests to sell food in our supermarkets. [3]
But lobbyists from the meat, palm oil and other industries are already on the move. They’re pushing the EU to adopt a weak law with loopholes for their products, so they can continue to cut away at our forests. [4]
With 170 partner organisations standing by our side, we can make a big impact. A massive petition signed by hundreds of thousands of Europeans can’t be ignored and will show the EU where the public stands.
Let's prove that our people power is stronger than the food industry lobby!
