Foie gras
In 2012, France produced around 19,000 tonnes of foie gras representing 75% of the world's production in that year. This required the force-feeding of around 38 million ducks and geese. World production in 2015 is estimated as 27,000 tonnes.
Foie gras controversy
In 2014 Compassion in World Farming partners with other organizations such as the German "Albert-Schweitzer Foundation" and the French organization "L214" to pressure the EU Commission and EU Agriculture Council to take action against the production of foie gras.
