Large-scale animal husbandry is a serious threat not only to the natural environment, but also to local communities living in the vicinity of industrial farms. How can consumers respond to this problem? The solution is proposed by the Farm Nor Factories campaign - to buy local food from high welfare farms!

The campaign interviewed Anthony Davison, creator of BigBarn, the UK's no.1 local food website. Anthony tells about the importance of having access to local food networks and thereby finding healthy food at a fair price to both producer and consumer by cutting out the middlemen, not least supermarkets. By using the power of consumers' purses, they can halt the horrors of global trade and help UK farms survive without becoming animal factories:
