Dr Oane Visser discusses the structural problems of the EU's global food system, highlighting the problems of the intensive livestock industry and its links to political power.
The interview with Dr Oane Visser took place following the first screeing in the Netherlands of the new documentary 'Food for Profit' which exposes the problems of the EU's intensive livestock industry, via hidden camera reporting in large farms, slaughterhouses and EU policy and lobbyist circuits in Brussels.
In the interview, Visser highlighted the structural problems of the EU and global food system, where intensive livestock farming, with large environmental costs and detrimental practices for animal welfare and workers' health, continues to be subsidized. He argues that aggressive lobbying by agribusiness undermine the regulations and attempts to address such problems.
