Mexico: Court in Yucatán upholds decision to suspend pig farm due to negative environmental impacts

On Friday 6th November 2020, the Court on Labour and Administrative Matters in the state of Yucatan, Mexico upheld the suspension against a pig farm in Homun owned by the company Producción Alimentaria Porcícola (PAPO), producing for Kekén. The decision anticipates a Supreme Court ruling that could set a precedent in the application of the precautionary principle in defense of the environment.

According to Greenpeace, the pig industry in Yucatan has polluted the water of underground water and wells, deforested more than 10 thousand hectares of forest and violated the rights of the Mayan people; in addition industrial livestock can generate pandemics.
