What it actually does
Calls for an urgent ban on the most intensive farming and fishing practices, including intensive winter grazing, fast-growing chicken breeds, live exports, mutilations and bottom trawling. Longer term it supports a full, funded transition away from animal farming, with support for farmers to move to plant-based or other work.
