Weโve calculated the parliamentary constituencies with the most muck produced by factory farms: these areas are the most likely to be impacted by river pollution from muck spreading ๐๐ฉ๐ท๐ฉ

Hi @MPGeorgeFreeman weโve found that 875 tonnes of muck is produced by factory farms in Mid Norfolk every day. The fifth most of any constituency in the UK.

Want to take action? Campaigners are urging @AngelaRayner to address the (ongoing) growth of factory farms in upcoming planning reforms. Add your voice to the clean-up call ๐ฉ๐งฝ๐ซง

Alongside our friends at @friends_earth and @UKSustain weโve mapped out the pollution caused by slurry and manure from factory farms.
View our interactive "muck map" to see how much slurry from factory farms is being spread in your local area โก๏ธ bit.ly/48CNPRy
ALT โThe spread of slurry from factory farms in England has already contributed to every region being polluted with nitrogen... This ludicrous situation must stop immediately.โ - Anthony Field Head of Compassion UK.

We produced this research for @UKSustain , @friends_earth and @ciwf . ๐ค All areas of England are in nutrient surplus, river health is declining across the UK and agricultural waste is the most common form of pollution preventing river recovery.

Our Muck Maps reveal for the first time the spread of factory farm muck across the UK. We found that up to 33,450 tonnes of manure is produced in the UK every day! When this is spread on over-saturated soils, it washes into waterways and causes pollution ๐ฉ๐

Research we published with @UKSustain earlier this year indicates where the dominant factory farming agribusinesses operate across the UK. These are the companies that contract the factory farms and supply the supermarkets that you shop at. foodfortheplanet.org.uk/stinโฆ

Method: We indicate fields most likely to be spread with muck - using farm locations from DEFRA, livestock populations from @ciwf , and a literature review into transport distances from factory farms to farmersโ fields. Field locations from @UK_CEH More: mtrlty.org/2024/11/07/muck-mโฆ
