Hello FAST! 

Exciting news! Project 1882 has just released a new report showcasing the growing trend towards plant-based transitions in the Swedish hotel, restaurant, and fast-food industry. With this report, we have been urging companies to set clear goals for promoting plant-based options and reducing the overall amount of meat purchased and consumed.  

Project 1882 works to make a difference for the animals that are the most exploited and suffer the worst. Right now, our primary focus is on decreasing the consumption of chicken and fish, while preventing the common practice of substituting red meat with white meat. We encourage companies to set clear goals to improve the lives of animals, rather than replacing one type of animal species with another. 

Here are some key highlights from the report: 

  • The restaurant chain Linnéa & Basilika (21 units) aims to cut red meat usage by 70 % and chicken by 50 % by 2030. 
  • AM Sushi (20 units) plans to reduce fish and chicken consumption by 50 % by 2030. 
  • Hawaii Poké (21 units) will increase vegan protein sales by 50 % by 2027. 
  • Scandic Hotels (250 units in the Nordic countries) has committed to making 60 % of their food plant-based by 2025. Project 1882 has been encouraging them to clarify what this goal entails regarding meat reduction, and they have now confirmed that this commitment has led to a nearly 30 % decrease in meat purchases. We keep working with them to set a goal for 2030. 
  • KFC Sweden is increasing plant-based protein sales by 5 % per year by 2030. 

The report has sparked great conversations with many companies, and we are optimistic about even more progress soon!

Hello FAST members   Two months ago we submitted to the Servicio Nacional de Sanidad Agraria  (Senasa), an agency attached to the  Ministerio de Desarrollo Agrario y Riego  (Midagri), a regulatory proposal aimed at incorporating specific provisions of Animal welfare in the land transport of farm animals. Currently, national legislation only addresses health and hygiene requirements, without establishing criteria to guarantee minimum welfare conditions during transport. This regulatory gap has negative consequences, as it increases animal suffering and the incidence of injuries and mortality, particularly in situations of stress or accidents during transport. Our proposal seeks to align Peruvian regulations with the regional and international standardsIn this sense, we highlight the positive openness of Midagri and Senasa to evaluate the initiative and the relevance of the interest expressed by the Comunidad Andina, which has been promoting regulatory harmonization in this area among member countries.  In this regard, we have already held a meeting with the group of lawyers from both institutions, as well as with the Andean Community, advancing discussions toward the creation of a joint guide to animal welfare in the Peruvian land transportation system. We trust that the incorporation of animal welfare criteria in transport will represent a significant advance in both animal protection and welfare in the country. Great day, Iselda Livoni Arba Peru
