An Taisce has formally asked the European Commission to reconsider its decision to grant Ireland a nitrates derogation. The derogation decision was meant to be based on the science. EPA data shows that our water quality is declining, and nitrogen went up 10% in 2025. Make this make sense.

As Danes head to the polls today, the “pig election” puts factory farming front & centre 🐖 It's about people vs pollution for profit, and backing small, caring farmers over big agri. People are pushing back & it’s being heard 👉 stopfactoryfarming.eu/news/why-hav... 📸Dyrenes Beskyttelse & @noah.dk
