EU Cage-Free Farming Legislation Moves Closer to Reality
Reported byHappy Eco News ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
The European Commission released its Livestock Strategy outlining plans to end cage confinement for more than 300 million animals a year across Europe, with proposals for laying hens and broiler chickens due by the end of 2026 and a separate proposal for pigs in Q2 2027, following a citizen-led campaign that gathered 1.4 million signatures.
The legislation is still in development; the Commission will propose rules but implementation depends on further approval and transition periods for farmers.
