I veckans avsnitt av podden lägger vi fullt fokus på etableringen av en ny djurindustri: insektsfabriker. Thea Fahlberg, digital kommunikatör, reder ut alla frågetecken kring denna industri som skulle betyda att biljoner av fler djur skulle dödas för att bli till foder, samtidigt som många anser att insektsproduktion är mer hållbart än andra animaliska proteiner.Vi pratar med Cecilia Mille, sakkunnig inom hållbarhetsfrågor hos Djurens Rätt, om hur utbredd industrin är idag, och med Francis Maugère, politisk rådgivare hos Eurogroup for Animals, om hur hållbar industrin egentligen är och vilka risker som finns.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: What do the Polish 2023 parliamentary elections mean for animals?, published by Pawel Rawicki on December 28, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. On October 15, Polish citizens headed to the polling stations to elect their representatives for the next four years. The coalition of opposition parties which secured the majority in Parliament has turned the tide of political force in the country. The upcoming parliamentary term brings opportunities, as well as numerous challenges for animal welfare in Poland and beyond. What are the potential implications for animals of the election results? Summary: The size of agricultural production in Poland makes the country an important player influencing European Union policies. The Law and Justice party governed Poland for eight years, shaping conservative policies. In 2020, the party proposed the so-called 'five for animals' bill. The bill, aiming to improve animal welfare, faced challenges and eventual failure, leading Law and Justice to abandon the animal protection topic. Controversy over ritual slaughter and farmer protests influenced Law and Justice to backtrack on the proposed reforms, hindering animal welfare initiatives. Collaborative efforts by animal advocacy groups before the 2023 elections pressured political parties on key issues like a fur farming ban and phasing out cages for farmed animals. The election results placed Law and Justice in the lead but lacking a majority, resulting in several former opposition parties forming the new government. Despite challenges, optimism exists for future animal welfare policies in Poland, including a fur farming ban, phasing out cages, and addressing fast-growing chicken breeds. A brief overview of the farmed animal situation in Poland Animal production and exports landscape Poland is one of the biggest net meat exporters in the world. According to the Polish Development Fund, in 2021 the country was the fourth-largest net exporter of processed meat, fish, or shellfish in the world and the eighth-largest net exporter of meat and edible offal. The poultry industry is of particular significance with 1,451,000,000 broiler chickens hatched in 2022 and more than half of the poultry meat being exported. Currently, there are over 52,800,000 egg-laying hens in Poland, and 72% of them are still kept in cages. There are also 3,430,000 animals (mostly mink) killed for fur every year in Poland (in 2015, the yearly export of fur skins from the country increased to over 10 million, but since then, the number of fur animals has been in decline). Poland's position in the European Union Due to its size and economy - Poland is the fifth-largest European Union Member State by population - Poland plays an important role in Europe. For these reasons, Polish internal politics significantly impact the direction of the EU as a whole, especially in the agricultural sector. One example of this was the attempt of the Polish government to block the EU's Green Deal. Animal welfare in conservative Poland For the past eight years (2015-2023), Poland was ruled by a government formed by the majority party Law and Justice (Prawo i Sprawiedliwość), a national-conservative party with an interventionist approach to the economy. The party belongs to the European Conservatives and Reformists Party in the EU. Animal welfare is not part of Law and Justice's political program, however, a significant number of their MPs and MEPs[1] have been involved in animal welfare initiatives, like the Intergroup on the Welfare and Conservation of Animals in the European Parliament. Between 2015 and 2020, Anima International had relatively good relations with some of the party's MPs and MEPs as a result of several instances of cooperation. In 2018, Law and Justice MEPs co-organized with Eurogroup for Animals (and with the help of A...

Our global food system, which relies heavily on factory farming, is wreaking havoc on our soil and our environment. In this week's episode, Philip Lymbery joins Evanna and Melanie to chat about his book "Sixty Harvests Left," in which he points out that if we don't change our ways, factory farming will cause catastrophic climate change—and we could face a future without soil and, consequently, without food. In this enlightening conversation, Philip, Evanna, and Melanie discuss how we can change course, emphasizing the role of individual choices, collective action, and the enduring power of hope for a brighter future for animals, people, and our planet. Philip Lymbery is Global Chief Executive of the international farmed animal welfare organisation Compassion in World Farming. He is Visiting Professor at the University of Winchester in the UK; a Leadership Fellow of St George's House, Windsor Castle; Fellow of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics; and President of Eurogroup for Animals, a Brussels-based umbrella body of 80 leading animal welfare societies in Europe. He was appointed a UN ambassadorial “Champion” for the 2021 Food Systems Summit in New York. Lymbery is an animal advocate, naturalist, photographer, and author. He regularly writes and speaks internationally on animal ethics and the global effects of factory farming, including its impact on animal welfare, wildlife, soil and natural resources, biodiversity, and climate change. His most recent books include "Farmageddon: The True Cost of Cheap Meat." "Dead Zone: Where the Wild Things Were," and "Sixty Harvests Left: How to Reach a Nature-Friendly Future."

LM publica cómo el Eurogroup for Animals recuerda a la Comisión Europea que se comprometió a implantar la agenda animalista "antes de fin de año".

Fondata quasi 60 anni fa a Baranzate nel milanese, EuroGroup Laminations è una azienda attiva nella progettazione e nella produzione di statori e rotori per motori e generatori elettrici (settore componentistica per motori elettrici). Tutto è nato quando Sergio Iori, attuale Presidente, nel 1967 con una piccola attività e sei operai, produceva motorini per i frullatori. La sua storia imprenditoriale iniziò per caso insieme a due cugini Emilio Bacchin e Stefano Garibaldi, quando il suo futuro suocero, Ferdinando Zannetti gli chiese di rappresentare il suo 50% in una piccola azienda artigiana del milanese. Da qui l'azienda è cresciuta di anno in anno, fino a un fatturato di 851 milioni di euro nel 2022, e fino alla quotazione in borsa. Oggi l'impresa familiare conta oltre 2800 dipendenti e 12 stabilimenti, di cui 7 in Italia e 5 all'estero. I due componenti che produce infatti, rotori e statori, prevedono un vastissimo utilizzo poiché richiesti dai settori automotive, motori industriali, domotica, elettroutensili e da qualsiasi altro settore industriale che faccia uso di motori elettrici. Così racconta la storia dell’azienda il suo fondatore Sergio Iori, Presidente e fondatore di EuroGroup Laminations.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Two Years of Shrimp Welfare Project: Insights and Impact from our Explore Phase, published by Aaron Boddy on September 25, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Summary Shrimp Welfare Project launched in Sep 2021, via the Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program. We aim to reduce the suffering of billions of farmed shrimps. This post summarises our work to date, what we plan to work on going forward, and clarifies areas where we're not focusing our attention. This post was written to coincide with the launch of our new (Shr)Impact page on our website. We have four broad workstreams: corporate engagement, farmer support, research, and raising issue salience. We believe our key achievements to date are: Corporate engagement: Our Humane Slaughter Initiative (commitments with large producers to purchase electrical stunners, such as MER Seafood, and Seajoy), ongoing conversations with UK retailers (including Marks & Spencer, who now have a published Decapod Welfare Policy), and contributing to the Aquaculture Stewardship Council's (ASC) Shrimp Welfare Technical Working Group. Humane Slaughter Initiative: This work in particular seems to be our most promising work so far, and we Guesstimate that our work to date will reduce the suffering of ~1B shrimps (in expectation per year) at a cost-effectiveness of ~1,300 shrimps per $ (in expectation per year). Farmer support: The launch of the Sustainable Shrimp Farmers of India (SSFI) program, Scoping Reports in India and Vietnam, a Pilot Study in India, and MoUs with prominent farmer-facing stakeholders (in Gujarat, and with ThinkAqua) Research: Working on a number of research projects to answer some of our key uncertainties, such as the Shrimp Welfare Report, an Alternative Shrimps report, a Supply & Demand economic analysis, a Consumer Research report, an Impact Roadmap, and coordinating academic research on the effectiveness of electrical stunning. Raising issue salience: Highlighting the issue of shrimp welfare through conferences/podcasts/articles in the shrimp industry, animal welfare, and Effective Altruism spaces. in addition to working in coalitions with other orgs in this space (i.e. EuroGroup for Animals, and the Aquatic Animal Alliance). As we are moving into our Exploit phase, we plan to focus our work on the following key projects: Humane Slaughter Initiative: Significantly accelerating the adoption of electrical stunning prior to slaughter in the farmed shrimp industry is a key goal of ours. We do this by purchasing the first stunner for a few different medium-large producers in different countries/contexts and in different farming systems in order to remove barriers to uptake. We believe we can realistically absorb ~$2,000,000 in funding over the next couple of years for our Humane Slaughter Initiative, at a cost-effectiveness of 1,500+ shrimps per $ per year, depending on producer volume and demand from their buyers.. Sustainable Shrimp Farmers of India: Our farmer support project is still somewhat exploratory, but we are excited by the tractability of interventions we have tested, such as offering free welfare-focused technical advice to farmers via WhatsApp, and promoting additional pond preparation (such as sludge removal) and lower stocking densities. Shrimp Welfare Index: Building on the Shrimp Welfare Report, and our experience trying to standardise a set of Asks across all the shrimp production systems, we wanted to clearly define what "higher welfare" looks like across different contexts. The Index offers an assessment of current practices and provides clear, actionable processes for improving shrimp welfare depending on the issues present in each pond. V1 of the Index is nearly complete, but we expect to iterate and test it over the next year, with the Index likely becoming a core part of SWPs work in...

Before this century's first global financial crisis struck Europe in 2007-2012, only people in the Brussels bubble had heard of the Eurogroup. By then, finance ministers from countries using the euro had been meeting in this format every month for ten years but – as Joscha Abels writes in The Politics of the Eurogroup: Governing Crisis and Conflict in the European Union (Routledge, 2023) - “the group had been almost invisible to the public". Over the next decade – and especially during the most acute phase of the Greek debt crisis in 2015 – that all changed. Devised in the 1990s as an informal body without decision-making powers, from 2010 onwards the Eurogroup assumed political authority for negotiating and approving bailout loans and making sure the conditions for those loans were met. Many memoirs have been written about these fraught years – including duelling books by former Eurogroup president Jeroen Dijsselbloem and short-lived Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis – but Abels has written the first book-length theoretical and institutional assessment of the Eurogroup itself. Joscha Abels is a research associate and lecturer in political economy at the University of Tübingen. Educated at Mannheim and Oslo, he completed his PhD at Tübingen with a dissertation on the role of the Eurogroup. His most recent research work is on infrastructure policy and geoeconomics. His new paper - Does the current crisis mark the end of the EU's austerity era? - published in Comparative European Politics (Volume 21, Issue 2, April 2023) can be found here. *The author's own book recommendations are The Political Economy of Geoeconomics: Europe in a Changing World edited by Milan Babić, Adam Dixon, and Imogen Liu (Palgrave Macmillan, 2022) and Butcher's Crossing by John Williams (first published 1960 - Vintage Classics, 2013).

Before this century's first global financial crisis struck Europe in 2007-2012, only people in the Brussels bubble had heard of the Eurogroup. By then, finance ministers from countries using the euro had been meeting in this format every month for ten years but – as Joscha Abels writes in The Politics of the Eurogroup: Governing Crisis and Conflict in the European Union (Routledge, 2023) - “the group had been almost invisible to the public".

Paschal Donohoe, Minister for Public Expenditure & President of the Eurogroup.

Greece's economic performance was in the spotlight again this week as Eurogroup President Paschal Donohoe was in Athens to meet with Prime Minister Mitsotakis and to participate in the “Resilience, Progress, Perspective” conference on the Greek economy. The Eurogroup President highlighted Greece's economic progress pointing out that its growth is above the euro area average while inflation is among the lowest. Greece's economic progress was also placed within the broader context of important policy discussions taking place at the EU level - where Greece plays a key role. Eirini Zarkadoula, the Brussels correspondent for ERT - the Greek Public Broadcasting Company  - and the Athens News Agency, joins Thanos Davelis to break down the main takeaways from the Eurogroup President's visit to Greece.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Donohoe in Athens, meeting with Mitsotakis and StaikourasEurogroup chief congratulates Greece on its economic progressWatch Eurogroup President Paschal Donohoe's interview with ERTEgypt – Cyprus relations defined by shared principles, Christodoulides saysCypriot President wraps up Cairo visit‘Kurds will be decisive': Erdoğan opponent piles on Turkey election pressure from prison

A proposal to farm three-thousand tonnes of octopus for export in the Canary Islands has researchers and scientists alarmed. According to papers obtained by campaign group Eurogroup for Animals there'll be around 1 million octopus in around one-thousand communal tanks - averaging 10 to 15 octopuses per cubic metre. But more and more evidence points to the intelligence of these animals. Their brain extends the full length of their body, down their tentacles, they're playful and are intelligent enough to feel bored. Peter Ulric Tse is Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience in the department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, where he runs an optopus cognition lab. By studying octopus smarts, he hopes to learn more about our own cognition and consciousness, including our perception of how quickly, or slowly time passes, and the neuroscience behind our understanding of free will.

Brexit, the housing crisis and the covid pandemic have all presented challenges to Ireland's economy and public finances in recent years. Overseeing the Government's financial response has been Fine Gael TD Paschal Donohoe who served as Minister for Finance from 2017 until late last year, and is now Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. Donohoe has also taken a leading role in the European Union's financial response to Brexit and the pandemic as President of the Eurogroup as which he has just begun as second term. In front of a live audience at Ireland's Edge, the Minister spoke to Other Voices founder Philip King. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As the right-hand man to Jean-Claude Juncker (chairman of the Eurogroup from 2005-13) and vice president of the Euro Working Group from 2011-14, Georges Heinrich found himself in the eye of the euro's financial storm in his late-30s. "Eventually, the right decisions were taken. Solidarity did prevail. Everybody chipped in,” he says. “But we had very, very long discussions on how to split the bill or whether to do a runner and leave one or two guys at the table who aren't so fit and who will then have to answer to the police or wash up the dishes".

Eurozone finance ministers coordinate policy through the Eurogroup and its engine room is the Euro Working Group - a committee of top treasury officials from member states and the European Commission. Elected as the EWG's first full-time president in 2009, Thomas Wieser became the one true constant through the tsunami of solvency crises that hit Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, and Cyprus and threatened Italy, and the construction of the EU's financial firewalls. For the Obama Treasury, he was the answer to Henry Kissinger's famous question: "Who do I call if I want to call Europe?" Listen to his account of a truly unique European career.

Paschal Donohoe, Minister for Finance, discusses how the Temporary Business Energy Support Scheme will progress following approval by the European Commission.

The European Commission has today approved the Temporary Business Energy Support Scheme, announced on Budget Day to assist businesses with their energy costs during winter. Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe, told us how will this scheme work.

We hear from our Europe Editor, Tony Connelly

Fionnán Sheehan, Ireland Editor with the Irish Independent, reports on the latest in political news as the Taoiseach visits Number 10, Michael McGrath says he wants the Eurogroup role, and Eamon Ryan comments on energy security.

As we head towards the end of the year, the time will come for Leo Varadkar to become Taoiseach, but also the plan is for Michael McGrath to become the new Minister for Finance. This will likely mean that Paschal Donohoe has to also step down from his position as President of the Eurogroup. Shane Ross is the former Minister for Transport joined Kieran on The Hard Shoulder to discuss..

Taoiseach Micheal Martin told Ciara Kelly this morning on Newstalk Breakfast that Michael McGrath will become Finance Minister, in the cabinet reshuffle in December. It will mean that Paschal Donohoe will lose the presidency of the Eurogroup. For more on this, Kieran was joined by Stephen Kinsella, Professor of Economics and head of department at University of Limerick...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Animal Welfare Fund: April 2022 grant recommendations, published by kierangreig on August 25, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Introduction The Animal Welfare Fund made the following grants in March and April 2022: Total grants: $2,215,000 Number of grantees: 25 Acceptance rate (excluding desk rejections): 29% Payout date: March - April, 2022 Report authors: Kieran Greig (Chair), Alexandria Beck, Karolina Sarek, Marcus Davis, Mikaela Saccoccio The three primary areas we granted to in this round were: Large-scale and neglected animal populations (for instance, farmed fish). Large-scale and neglected geographies (for instance, work in medium or large Asian countries). Exploratory work regarding policy and/or alternative proteins (for instance, attempting to secure government funding for research and development of alternative proteins). Would you like to get funded? Apply for funding. Highlights Notable grants for this round included: Anonymous($185,000): This grant will support piloting a new fellowship program to help address talent bottlenecks in Southeast Asia. We think the leaders of this program are thoughtful, aligned individuals with impressive track records. Southeast Asia is one of the areas that we're particularly excited about further work in, because it is a highly neglected area for farmed animal advocacy. We believe this fellowship program could become key infrastructure for scaling work in this region in the future. Australian Alliance for Animals ($50,000): Initial seed funding for a new organization to unite the Australian animal protection sector with the aim of increasing its political influence. This seed grant supports some very experienced and aligned advocates in transitioning into a full-time Australian policy/advocacy group. We believe this is particularly valuable because policy will be an area of significant growth for the movement. Shrimp Welfare Project ($45,000): This will support a relatively new group to work with farmers and the rest of the supply chain in India and Vietnam to improve farmed shrimp welfare. There is no other animal welfare group explicitly focused on shrimp. This could eventually impact upwards of several billion shrimp every year. Grant recipients In addition to the grants described below, 1 grant (totalling $42,000) have been excluded from this report at the request of their applicants. See below for a list of grantees' names, grant amounts, and brief grant descriptions: Wild Animal Initiative ($400,000): General operating expenses to cultivate an academic field dedicated to wild animal welfare. Rethink Priorities ($250,000): Support for wild animal welfare and invertebrate welfare research for a year. Anonymous ($185,000): A year's funding to continue the capacity-building work through the pilot Southeast Asia Farm Animal Welfare Fellowship. Cambridge Effective Altruism CIC ($130,000): Funding for Cambridge EA's alt-protein field-building efforts for a year. Africa Network for Animal Welfare ($105,000): Campaigns against battery cages in East Africa and researching the state of caged chicken farming in West Africa. Animal Alliance Asia ($100,000): Culture-specific workshops for animal welfare advocates to increase efficacy in Asia. Çiftlik Hayvanlarını Koruma Derneği (Farm Animals Protection Association) ($100,000): A year's salary for new hires and other costs to increase capacity for cage-free campaigns and fish welfare outreach in Turkey. Insect Welfare Project (temporary name) ($100,000): Launch lobbying, investor and producer campaigns in insect farming and to slow the growth of this sector. CellAg Germany ($98,000): 1-year salary for a general manager of CellAg Germany to accelerate cellular agriculture through policy work & services. Eurogroup for Animals ($96,000): Funding staff to hinder EU deregulatio...

Asian equities hit their lowest levels in two years following tech weakness on Wall Street ahead of key inflation data and the start of earnings season. Increased recession fears in Europe pushes the euro close to parity with the dollar which is strengthened by further expected rate hikes by the Fed.

Paschal Donohoe, Minister for Finance & President of the Eurogroup

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Please complete a survey to influence EU animal protection policies, published by PeterSlattery on January 7, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Sharing this here quickly, as I have been made aware of it, and it seems very important to publicise. Please complete/share it where relevant. The EU is currently in the process of revising its animal protection policies and using a survey to collect input between 15 October 2021 and 21 January 2022. I have been told that it is one of the most significant opportunities for animal welfare progress on a legislative level ever seen in the EU. Anyone can participate, including research institutions. In many countries, there have been relatively few responses. Only 21 people in Ireland have responded to the survey, for instance. People from these countries can potentially have a more outsized response on their representatives or local policy. [Not sure how it works, but I imagine EU representatives will be particularly sensitive to responses from their citizens.]To participate, you need to sign up for an account by email. It took about five minutes from asking to create an account, to being sent the sign-up email and arriving at the survey page. How should I fill out the survey? Please see this guide from Anima International, or contact animal advocacy organisations in the Open Wing Alliance (OWA) and Eurogroup for Animals (EfA) networks (the links show who the member organisations in your country are). [Thanks to Neil Dullaghan for making me aware of the organisations and initatives]. Contents of the survey The survey probably take 5-15 minutes to complete. The most important questions appear to be near the bottom Revision of EU animal welfare legislation (EN) Fields marked with are mandatory. Introduction Why are we consulting? This initiative will explore several options for addressing the shortcomings identified in the recent evaluation of the EU legislation on animal welfare. The aim is to revise this legislation. We would like to hear your views and experience on the fitness of the current rules and on how they could be improved. Target audience any group directly affected by the legislation, such as farmers and other food business operators members of the public (possibly) animal welfare NGO's and consumer organisations. About you [removed] Fitness check and revision of current legislation: In 2020, the European Commission adopted its Farm to Fork Strategy (F2F), to promote a shift towards a sustainable food system. Because animal welfare is a cornerstone of sustainable food production, Farm to Fork committed the Commission to revising the current EU animal welfare legislation by 2023, and to consider options for animal welfare labelling. The purpose is to improve animal welfare and broaden the scope of the legislation, by aligning it with the latest scientific evidence, current political priorities and public expectations – all while making the legislation easier to enforce.The EU legislation under review is: a Directive concerning the protection of animals kept for farming purposes 4 Directives laying down minimum standards for protecting: laying hens broilers pigs calves a Regulation on animal transport a Regulation on the protection of animals at the time of killing. These EU acts regulate animal welfare at farm level, during transport and at slaughter, and cover animals – including fish – that are bred and kept for farming purposes, as well as cats and dogs that are transported for commercial purposes. The acts do not cover wild animals (except when they are killed for the purpose of depopulation), experimental or laboratory animals (except when they are being transported) or any invertebrate animals. The goal is to improve the welfare of animals while ensuring sustainable production and fair competition for EU bu...
