Cornü

Cornü arose from the desire to bring change to a devastated sector. The shortcomings of the meat industry are disastrous, both for the animals and the environment, as well as for the producers and consumers. This cooperative encourages people to eat less meat, but of better quality. Several producers joined forces to protect local livestock farming. They want to ensure an ecological and traceable production, in correct conditions for both farmer and animal. Cornü wants to form a chain of local points of sale. The first store is located in a village where there are no other stores, which stimulates social cohesion and economic activity based on products of local producers.

LITA supports Cornü as a real alternative, as a response to cry of alarm from our livestock farmers and to the rural outflow. Our choice was made after discussions in the team and in the committee: we support responsible agriculture that is as sustainable as possible.
