Hello, everyone!

Great news from Brazil!
As one of the targets in Mercy For Animals' accountability campaign Compromisso é Coisa Séria, Liv Up announced that in July 2024, they achieved their goal of using only cage-free eggs in their product recipes. Liv Up is a renowned startup specializing in healthy frozen meals, operating in 11 states across Brazil.

Scale: National (Brazil)

Timeline: Accountability communications started in June 2022 through Fórum Animal and their accountability annual report Egglab, and in November 2022 MFA joined the efforts. Since then, MFA has continued following up every quarter and Forum Animal annually, with no successful attempts. Given this scenario, Mercy For Animals launched the campaign on May 28 of this year.

Who: Mercy For Animals and Fórum Animal

Failed tactics: none

Successful tactics: Sending weekly emails mentioning campaign progress, they requested a meeting, and after that, asked two weeks to publish their completed commitment. Bonus: They removed their public commitment and stated to us that they've never published it before. But we had all the materials archived and we shared it with them.

Scalability: National.

Follow-up: We will keep in touch to request reports and bring producers closer.

Thank you!

Cities across Europe are stepping up for climate, health, and animal protection. Alcorcón, El Masnou, and Parla in Spain, Grenoble in France, and Campolide in Portugal have recently endorsed the call for a global Plant Based Treaty to cut food emissions in line with the Paris Agreement. Their commitments include: * Piloting plant-based meals in public dining halls and city facilities, and banning land use changes for animal agriculture (Alcorcón) * Requiring at least 50% plant-based catering at municipal events (El Masnou) * Prioritizing plant-based food in public procurement and developing a local sustainable food strategy, including plant-based menus in school cafeterias, day centres and residencies (Parla) * Increasing plant-based options in canteens and at events, and promoting initiatives such as Veganuary (Grenoble) * Organizing community-based plant-based cooking workshops and running educational programs in schools to raise awareness of food system impacts and encourage dietary shifts (Campolide)   To date, 45 cities globally have endorsed the Plant Based Treaty, and with your support, our teams are transforming food policy one city at a time as we build momentum to secure our first country endorsement.
