EU to set environmental targets for livestock farms
14/03/2024
The European Parliament has agreed to set limits for reducing emissions and waste from pig and poultry farms and will review in 2026 whether cattle should be included.
The new rules will add environmental performance and water consumption targets. For waste, resource efficiency, energy efficiency and raw material use, targets will be within a range.
Some European farmers have recently protested against the EU green rules, which they said burden them with costs and bureaucracy.
In response to the protests, the EU has weakened some rules.
