Rural campaigners call Haywards Heath Town Council ‘anti-farming’ after it endorses Plant Based Treaty signed by Sir Paul McCartney
Haywards Heath Town Council has been criticised by The Countryside Alliance after becoming the first town council in Europe to endorse the Plant Based Treaty last month.
The international treaty has been signed by celebrities like Sir Paul McCartney and aims to stop damage to ecosystems caused by animal agriculture.
It makes dozens of demands like transitioning to plant-based meals in schools and hospitals, while subsidizing fruits and vegetables.
