What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

JBS, the world's largest meat processor, is planning a $5 billion expansion into Southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, structured as a joint venture with the Indonesian sovereign wealth fund. Greenpeace Nordic estimates that JBS pumps out more superheating methane gas than ExxonMobil and Shell combined. The company's supply chain has been linked to massive deforestation in the Amazon rainforest, and Greenpeace Netherlands is taking legal action to block the expansion.
