We need to transform our food system and your voice counts

Over one million signatures to END.IT 

In a powerful victory for animals, people, and the planet, our END.IT petition has officially closed with more than one million signatures. People across 242 countries and regions – from Brazil to Burkina Faso, and from Sweden to Singapore – have united to call on world leaders to end factory farming for a more sustainable future.

This autumn, we will take those million voices directly to the UN, making sure world leaders hear this urgent call for change.

You can still join the global movement and take part in the next actions to achieve our mission to end factory farming and build a kinder, and resilient food future.

Why we need to END.IT

From pollution to the climate crisis and wildlife extinctions. From animal cruelty to human hunger and malnutrition. Take a closer look at almost any global challenge, and you’ll find food at its core.

In intensive farms, billions of animals are cruelly confined or bred for unnaturally fast growth or high yields. 40% of global arable land is used to feed animals instead of people – driving deforestation and massive loss of wildlife habitats. The livestock sector is a major source of global greenhouse gas emissions and a significant cause of air, soil and water pollution. Yet, the over reliance on animal protein continues to grow globally, helping to fuel the climate crisis.

If world leaders continue to ignore the impacts of animal agriculture, the climate targets in the Paris Agreement will be out of reach. Without urgent action, intensive animal agriculture threatens our very survival. It's either the end of factory farming, or for us.

A food transformation

A brighter future is possible. One where nature-positive, higher welfare agriculture supports the regeneration of the environment, fair livelihoods for farmers and nutritious food for all. And we can each play our part in making this vision a reality.

We’re building a global movement of citizens, organisations and forward-thinking businesses, calling on world leaders to urgently transform our food system and end factory farming.

Petition to world leaders

There is an urgent need to transform the food system. If the global community is to meet the Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Climate Agreement targets and the goals of the Convention on Biological Diversity, action must be taken to end intensive animal farming.

Our petition calls for a UN Global Agreement on food and farming.

This would:

  • Shift to nature-positive farming systems that help restore biodiversity and soils and keep the global increase in average temperatures below 1.5˚C.
  • Reverse over-reliance on animal protein in high consuming populations and support equitable, secure access to nutritious food.
  • Ensure a just transition to a global food system that provides fair livelihoods for farmers and protects the rights of indigenous peoples, women, and vulnerable communities.
  • Achieve a financial and regulatory environment which helps to secure the above transition.
  • Deliver high standards of farmed animal welfare.
