Factory farming is fuelling a pollution crisis in Northern Ireland.
Our new research has revealed just how damaging our farming system has become.
Millions of animals in intensive farms produce thousands of tonnes of waste − much of it ending up in waterways connected to Lough Neagh.
The result? Toxic blue-green algae, declining wildlife and widespread environmental damage.
This isn’t an accident. It’s what happens when powerful lobbies shape policy, resulting in weak laws that fail to protect people or nature. For years this has been allowed to continue unchecked, pushing our environment to breaking point.
We’re calling on our government to stop new and expanding factory farms and better protect waterways, nature, and public health.
