Today is World Soil Day! Soil is the foundation of our food and ecosystems, but it's under threat from, you guessed it, factory farming. We need to invest in regenerative farming that nourishes the land and feeds people sustainably, and scrap industrial agriculture for good.đą

Again, claims that

REMINDER: Gestation crates are tiny metal cages where pregnant pigs are trapped, unable to turn, lie down comfortably, or even nest. They spend most of their lives confined like this, stripped of dignity and natural behavior. This is cruelty, plain and simple.

Bills like EATS threaten to override democratically elected policies like Prop 12, stripping states of their power to set animal welfare standards that reflect votersâ values. Democracy means respecting local voices over corporate interests, people over profit.

Science shows pigs deserve enough space to move freely, turn around, lie down comfortably, and express natural behaviors. Theyâre intelligent, social animalsânot just commodities. Humane treatment isnât optional; itâs a scientific and ethical imperative.

Critics say Prop 12 isnât âscience-basedâ but decades of research show pigs suffer in extreme confinement. Science supports giving animals space to move, lie down, and express natural behaviors. Prop 12 is grounded in both evidence and ethics.

14 states have laws regulating how pigs and other farm animals are treated. Ten states ban cruel gestation crates. Prop 12 is part of a growing movement to ensure pigs can move, lie down, and live with dignity. It's time more states followed suit. đ

Farming is about animal stewardship, not politics. No consumer objects to basic welfare standardsâProp 12âs ideas are simply what responsible farmers have always embraced as the norm. Good farming is good farming, period.

Meanwhile, major ag companies have already adapted their supply chains to changing markets. Instead of overriding state rules, letâs focus on practical, local solutions that work.
