Good Animal Lives

Space and freedom of movement create better living conditions for farm animals.

Animals are sentient beings – and should be treated accordingly. Organic Denmark works for livestock to live in accordance with their natural needs and behavior, including living outdoors when the season allows and having access to outdoor areas when they are in barns.

We work with farmers on new initiatives and ensure that agriculture has access to robust, strong livestock breeds, which may be smaller and grow less quickly, but in return have better living conditions with fewer disease outbreaks. Livestock is an essential part of a balanced ecosystem, and although we should have fewer farm animals, they play a crucial role in nutrients and biodiversity.
