The Italian journalist Giulia Innocenzi became known as a political commentator and television presenter in various media formats before turning her attention to investigative topics. She and her team spent five years working on "Food for Profit", which premiered at the European Parliament in Brussels in February 2024. The documentary criticises intensive farming (factory farming), which receives massive financial support from the EU almost everywhere in Europe. Together with an international team of experts conducting undercover research, Innocenzi impressively highlights the main problems of this industrial production method: Animal suffering, water pollution, exploitation of migrant workers, loss of biodiversity as well as the dangers posed by the use of antibiotics and the development of genetically modified organisms. The film concludes with a clear and direct call to action to put an end to these abuses. In particular, the film calls for an end to state subsidies for factory farming.

Following the film screening, experts from the meat and egg industry and animal welfare discussed the parallels and differences between "Food for Profit" and conditions in Switzerland. Participants in the lively panel discussion were Meinrad Pfister (farmer and entrepreneur at Pfiroporcs GmbH), Daniel Würgler (President of Gallo Suisse), Meret Schneider (Project Manager Campaign Forum), Tobias Sennhauser (Tier im Fokus TIF) and TIR lawyer Dr Vanessa Gerritsen. The event was moderated by Salar Bahrampoori from Swiss television SRF.

It was a great honour for TIR to organise the Swiss premiere of "Food for Profit". We would like to thank Giulia Innocenzi, who travelled to Zurich especially for the event, and all those present for a very exciting and successful evening. We are convinced that the film will make an important contribution to educating the public about the connections between the meat and dairy industry, political decision-makers and lobbyists.
