Toxic Trade-Off


  • Highlight: Used by Sustain campaign officers at Labour Party Conference.

  • Research and design for Sustain, Friends of the Earth and Compassion In World Farming.


“A third of the English councils with the highest projected housing demand are in areas where it is too polluted to build new homes, with factory farming pollution a major cause. In order for the UK to achieve its housing aims and its nature recovery and climate targets, nutrient pollution from agriculture must be reduced at source.”

Materiality modelled nutrient pollution from factory farms in England and mapped key housebuilding areas. We calculated nutrient production within nutrient neutrality areas, local authorities with the highest predicted housing demand, and increased council housebuilding targets. The full briefing can be found here.
