Intensive farming methods are still on the agenda within the pork industry and there still remain those such as Midland Pig Producers that intend to use these methods to rear pork for human consumption.
It saddens us to hear that they have put plans in motion for a 26,000 intensive pig farm on the outskirts of the village of Foston in Derbyshire.
We hope that you will join us in opposing this development – we don’t have much time 30th June 2010 to make a difference – please help.
The application is lodged with South Derbyshire District Council – further details are at the end of this post.
Issues that will be considered are environmental issues, waste concerns, pollution from construction, damage to the surrounding area, trees and plants, transport, human health – disease outbreaks/vermin, noise pollution, impact on the local wildlife and species from the development.
If you have seen Pig Business you will understand that many of these issues are often affected in a very detrimental way by intensive pig farming. We ask that you please offer your support by objecting to this application and spreading the word to other citizens in the UK.

Please do act and many thanks from Pig Business.
