Yep. Why not spend some of funding on supporting some farmers to transition OUT of chickens, not lock in to industrial farming model with questionable incinerators and AD.

Farm waste is often used as fertiliser but can wash into rivers and cause pollution A new report by Sustain and Friends of the Earth shows that top intensive meat and dairy firms are producing over 2,800 double-decker busloads of waste a day – but not all gets disposed correctly

"Farmers union objects to new bathing water designations." Oh, now that is interesting. The National Farmers' Union objected to every application for bathing water, care to explain NFU? Guardians of the countryside? Great bit of reporting by Shosha Adie 👏👏👏 endsreport.com/article/187258…

I'll have to dig out this graph every time someone says dirty rivers are all the water companies fault. In this part of the country - Wye and Severn there are vastly more chickens than people.

The Lough is encircled by a ring of intensive poultry farms & anaerobic digesters. That's a lot of chicken poop releasing a lot of phosphates to feed a lot of algae to suffocate a lot of wildlife. bit.ly/3RMaBiP

We were glad to hear Gov recognise that improving water quality is vital in the #KingsSpeech with plans for water industry reform. But, ambitious action is needed on agricultural pollution, road run-off & over-abstraction too. Today we put this message directly to Steve Reed MP.

I did ask what the National Farmers' Union advised farmers to do about the vast amounts of waste from 25m chickens which heavily pollutes the once beautiful #River #Wye. They had ideas about dealing with it . I'm sure Ellie Chowns a local MP, will be interested to hear those ideas!
