Pollution from intensive animal farms is seeping into our rivers, air, and seas. Linked to everything from cancer to mass fish deaths, these pollutants damage the environment and human health.
 
 In this series, DeSmog investigates the impact of intensive animal agriculture in the UK and Europe — including tens of thousands of U.S.-style mega-farms, which farm billions of pigs, chickens and cattle every year. We’ll speak to local communities, scrutinise on-farm operations and dig into which lobby groups are opposing environmental protection.
