Not purly performative as Berkeley did actually have a CAFO. It ended up closing a few months before the ballot intative, and this ensures it won’t be starting up again nor anything like it
It also sets legal precedent for other places to do the same. The more localities that do this, the harder things become for the meat industry
And that future would make the land avaliable for factory farms shrink making it more difficult for the industry to expand
It also starts making it more politically achievable for it to be banned at larger and larger regions than cities: countywide -> statewide -> etc.
It also can lay the groundwork to start advocating for things at the point of sale even if that’s not politically viable right now
It’s still helpful even if it’s not enough
