Towards a
plant-based
food system

Faba Konzepte stands for the transformation of our food system. We promote the reduction of animal agriculture, and just, plant-based diets for all. By publishing studies and policy papers, organising events and other outreach activities, we influence the public debate around animal use and consumption. We connect stakeholders from science, praxis, politics and civil society and we support progressive changes from below.

 

The transformation of the agriculture and food system offers a tremendous opportunity to counter the climate catastrophe and to place our dealings with each other and with our fellow creatures on a new footing. We must not let this opportunity pass us by.

Fünf Gründe für den Ausstieg aus der Tierindustrie

Dairy tales: How the dairy lobby is fuelling the climate crisis, making cows suffer and deceiving consumers

How harmful is cow’s milk to the climate? The dairy lobby wants to improve the bad reputation of its products with image campaigns: The contribution to climate change is small, cattle farming is indispensable and improvements all the way to climate-neutral milk are already on the way. But what is the truth behind these reassuring messages? The new report by Foodwatch and Faba Konzepte exposes the industry’s greenwashing. The industry’s climate protection efforts achieve little and are actually at the expense of cows, which suffer under high-performance breeding and in animal experiments. For the sake of the climate, biodiversity and animal welfare, it is urgently necessary to at least halve milk production and consumption in Germany in the short term.
