They hold a yellow Greenpeace banner reading “Big Meat and Dairy are cooking the planet.” The action took place during the World Conference on Livestock, where Greenpeace and over 90 organisations launched an appeal for a just transition in the food sector.

Five meat companies – JBS, Marfrig, Tyson, Minerva and Cargill – combined emit more greenhouse gases than Chevron, Shell or BP.

Around 80% of these emissions come from cattle.

While science calls for reducing livestock emissions, Big Meat and Dairy are expanding fast.

The world’s biggest meat empire, JBS, plans to grow 70% by 2050 while walking back its climate commitments.
