Emilia Romagna on the Path Towards Cage-Free Farms 20 May 2021
The Commission for Economic Policies of the Legislative Assembly of Emilia-Romagna (Italy) has approved a resolution committing the Regional Council to support a transition towards cage-free animal farms that respect animal welfare. Slow Food welcomes this initiative and sees it as “an excellent start. But now is the time for a concrete framework of action: we need defined timelines, action plans and above all a numerical estimation of how many animals are still farmed in these conditions”.
Emilia Romagna (Italy) announces a stop to caged-animal farming. We are very happy today to share this decision taken by the regional administration of Emilia Romagna that we hope will be a leading example for Italy and Europe to ensure cage-free farming.
