Former Farm in the Village of Tingerup, Denmark
One of the old former farms in the village of Tingerup. Earlier, this little town strongly relied on small-scale agriculture and the surrounding nature, but from the late 1980's an industrial pig farmer and his sons bought up several farms and started expanding them into factory farms. Today, small farms have gone out of business, and the whole area is highly affected by the smell, dust and noise from the factory farms. They almost exclusively employ foreigners coming from Poland or Ukraine. The earlier days with thriving small businesses and jobs for locals are almost completely gone.

Pig Factory Farms in Denmark
Denmark produces more than 31 million pigs annually, which, together with the annual production of 1.5 million cattles, makes up 19 percent of Denmark’s total greenhouse gas emissions. Inside the walls of industrial farms, animals’ existence are reduced to short lives inside small booths or cages. Besides its effect on the climate, meat production in Denmark further has a negative impact on the local environment, landscape, biodiversity and public health.
Greenpeace Nordic in Denmark demands a reduction in the number of pigs and cattles produced by the meat industry in Denmark. The decrease in amount of agricultural land used for production of animal feed should simultaneously give space to more nature, forest and production of organic, plant-based crops. Furthermore, the public system has to contribute to a transition of the consumption of less meat and more green foods.
