Podcasts about factory farming

Dr. Crystal Heath–a veterinarian who's bristled at inhumane treatment of animals throughout her career, and before, dating back to her childhood as a 4-H kid discovering the goats she'd raised would be slaughtered—recalls growing up in a rural part of Northern California, adoring animals and riding horses. Dr. Heath, a speaker at the Tampa Bay […] The post Dr. Crystal Heath, veterinarian and activist first appeared on Talking Animals.

Cross-posted from my Substack To start off with, I've been vegan/vegetarian for the majority of my life. I think that factory farming has caused more suffering than anything humans have ever done. Yet, according to my best estimates, I think most animal-lovers should eat meat. Here's why: It is probably unhealthy to be vegan. This affects your own well-being and your ability to help others. You can eat meat in a way that substantially reduces the suffering you cause to non-human animals How to reduce suffering of the non-human animals you eat I'll start with how to do this because I know for me this was the biggest blocker. A friend of mine was trying to convince me that being vegan was hurting me, but I said even if it was true, it didn't matter. Factory farming is evil and causes far more harm than the [...] ---Outline:(00:45) How to reduce suffering of the non-human animals you eat(03:23) Being vegan is (probably) bad for your health(12:36) Health is important for your well-being and the world's--- First published: September 25th, 2025 Source: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/tteRbMo2iZ9rs9fXG/why-you-should-eat-meat-even-if-you-hate-factory-farming --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO. ---Images from the article:Apple Podcasts and Spotify do not show images in the episode description.

Take the chick killing. Innovators have developed in-ovo sexing technology that allows the egg industry to only hatch the female chicks. Thanks to that, Germany recently banned the killing of day-old chicks entirely, andFranceand Italy are largely doing so too.说到小鸡的屠杀，创新者已经研发出了“蛋内分性”技术，使得蛋类产业只孵化雌性小鸡。正因如此，德国最近全面禁止了对刚出生一天的小鸡的屠杀，法国和意大利也在大规模推行这一做法。Other innovators are developing alternative proteins, made from plants, algae, even animal cells to meet the world's growing demand for animal protein without more factory farming.还有一些创新者正在研发替代蛋白质，来源包括植物、藻类，甚至是动物细胞，以满足全球对动物蛋白日益增长的需求，而无需更多的工厂化养殖。And yet, for all this progress, the problem overall is still growing worse. More animals are suffering at human hands today than at any prior point in our history.然而，尽管已经有了这些进步，整体问题仍在恶化。如今，在人类手中受苦的动物数量，比历史上任何时期都要多。We raise and kill 210 billion animals globally every year. Two hundred and ten billion. That's more than the number of humans who have ever lived on Earth.全球每年被饲养并屠杀的动物高达2100亿只。2100亿！这个数字甚至超过了人类在地球上有史以来的总人口数。We are the only species to have ever inflicted so much suffering on so many other animals. But we are also the only species to have ever acted to protect other animals from cruelty. We are a species of animal lovers. It is core to our humanity.我们是唯一一个曾给如此多其他动物带来巨大苦难的物种。但我们也是唯一一个会采取行动保护动物免受残酷对待的物种。我们是爱动物的物种，这是人性的重要组成部分。One day, humanity will end the worst abuses on factory farms. And when we do, our descendants will look back and ask what we did to help end them.↳总有一天，人类会终结工厂化养殖中最严重的虐待行为。而当那一刻到来时，我们的后代会回头问：我们曾做过什么来帮助结束它？So what can you do to help? You can advocate, donate, even devote your career to this cause. But if you do just one thing, I ask this. Talk about factory farming.那么，你能做些什么来帮助呢？你可以倡导、捐助，甚至把一生奉献给这一事业。但如果只能做一件事，我请求你——请谈论工厂化养殖。Tell the corporations you buy from, the politicians you vote for that you expect them to adopt at least basic animal-welfare standards. Tell your friends and family what you've learned about factory farming.告诉你购买商品的企业、你投票支持的政客，你希望他们至少采用基本的动物福利标准。告诉你的朋友和家人你所了解到的关于工厂化养殖的真相。Factory farming thrives in the dark, shielded by a cone of silence, ignored by our politicians, our media and society at large. Its victims are voiceless. They need your voice.工厂化养殖依靠黑暗而存在，被沉默的屏障保护着，被政客、媒体和整个社会忽视。它的受害者没有声音，他们需要你的声音。I was thinking about this when I was back in New Zealand a few months ago with our three-year-old son, Willie, visiting my childhood farm. Willie's started asking what I do at work all day. He just doesn't understand strategic philanthropy to reform factory farming.几个月前，我带着三岁的儿子威利回到新西兰，参观我童年的农场时，我想到了这些。威利开始问我：你每天上班都在做什么？他根本无法理解“通过战略性慈善改革工厂化养殖”是什么意思。No matter how many times I repeat it.无论我重复多少次，他都听不懂。So I told him, I'm trying to make the world a little bit more like that farm. We can have that world. Humanity has already amassed unprecedented wealth and power. Soon, advances in AI will make us more powerful still.于是我告诉他：我正在努力让这个世界变得更像那片农场。我们完全可以拥有这样的世界。人类已经积累了前所未有的财富与力量，很快，人工智能的进步还会让我们更加强大。And we will face a choice, a test of our humanity. Will we use that power to factory-farm ever more animals? Or will we use it to end this cruelty?而我们将面临一个选择——一场人性的考验。我们会用这种力量去工厂化养殖更多的动物？还是用它来终结这种残酷？Humans are animals too. What separates us from the pigs and the chickens is our ability to make moral progress. We should use it.人类也是动物。我们与猪和鸡的区别，在于我们有能力推动道德的进步。我们理应运用这种能力。

And this. This is a trash can full of live baby chicks. I honestly didn't believe this one when I first heard about it. It just sounded like comic-book villain stuff. But it's real. The egg industry has no need for the seven billion male chicks born annually. So it kills them on their first day alive in this world, typically by throwing them in the trash or into a giant meat grinder.还有这个。这是一只装满活小鸡的垃圾桶。老实说，第一次听到这个时，我根本不相信，听起来就像漫画里反派的恶行。但这是真的。蛋类产业对每年出生的大约七十亿只雄性小鸡没有任何用途，因此它们在生命的第一天就被杀死，通常的做法是直接扔进垃圾桶，或丢进巨大的绞肉机。I could go on, but don't worry, I won't. We're all done with the images.我可以继续讲下去，但别担心，我不会了。关于图片的部分到此为止。I'm guessing you're not a fan of what you just saw. And you're not alone. Eighty-eight percent of Americans told a recent survey that they think gestation crates and battery cages are unacceptable. Try finding any other issue that 88 percent of Americans can agree on today.我想你对刚才看到的东西一定不喜欢。而你并不孤单。最近一项调查显示，88%的美国人认为妊娠栏和电池笼是不可接受的。如今，你几乎找不到另一个能让88%的美国人达成共识的问题。It's not surprising, though. We as a society have already decided that animal cruelty is wrong. If you treated your dog the way that a factory farm treats their pigs, you'd be committingfelonyanimal cruelty in most US states.这并不令人意外。作为一个社会，我们早已认定虐待动物是错误的。如果你像工厂化养殖场对待猪那样对待自己的狗，在大多数美国州，你都会被判定为严重的虐待动物罪。And this isn't just about the animals. Factory farms, which densely crowd together hundreds of thousands, even millions of near genetically identical, immune-compromised individuals, are the perfect breeding grounds for disease. They control these diseases with antibiotics. Tons of them. In fact, even as we face an antibiotic resistance crisis in humans, we are feeding far more antibiotics to farm animals than we use in all human medicine. But antibiotics can't stop viruses, which is why we have a bird-flu pandemic sweeping through America's factory farms right now.而且，这不仅仅关乎动物。工厂化养殖场把几十万、甚至上百万基因几乎相同、免疫力低下的个体挤在一起，这正是疾病的理想温床。它们用抗生素来控制疾病——大量的抗生素。事实上，即使人类正面临抗生素耐药性危机，我们给农场动物喂食的抗生素依然远远超过用于人类医疗的总量。但抗生素无法对抗病毒，这就是为什么如今美国的工厂化养殖场正在爆发禽流感大流行。After I learned all this, I dedicated my life to ending the worst abuses on factory farms. And the good news is, I've seen more progress in the last decade than in all prior decades combined. On these three practices, we are close to a tipping point.在了解到这些之后，我将自己的一生都投入到终结工厂化养殖中最严重的虐待行为中。好消息是，过去十年里我看到的进展，比之前几十年的总和还要多。在这三种做法上，我们正接近一个转折点。Take the gestation crates. Advocates have won bans on them in 11 US states, from California to Florida. The Brazilian pork industry, led by giants like JBS, is moving away from the crates entirely.以妊娠栏为例。倡导者已经在美国11个州推动禁用它们，从加州到佛罗里达都有。由JBS等巨头主导的巴西猪肉产业，也正在全面摆脱妊娠栏。Take the battery cages. Advocates have won promises from the world's largest supermarket and fast food chains to stop sourcing eggs from caged hens. McDonald's is now 100 percent cage-free in its US and Canadian egg supply, and Costco is nearly there too.再说电池笼。倡导者成功让全球最大的超市和快餐连锁企业承诺，不再采购笼养鸡蛋。麦当劳目前在美国和加拿大的鸡蛋供应已完全实现非笼养，Costco也几乎达到了这一标准。Forty-four percent of US hens are now out of cages, up from less than 10 percent a decade ago.如今，美国有44%的产蛋母鸡已经摆脱了笼养，而十年前，这个数字还不到10%。

Honestly, the slaughterhouse wasn't as bad as I'd expected. It was the state of the animals arriving there that shook me. I remember seeing pigs coming down off a transport truck. Some shaking, some squealing, some limping in pain.说实话，屠宰场本身并没有我想象中那么糟糕。真正让我震惊的是抵达那里的动物的状态。我记得看到一些猪从运输卡车上被赶下来，有的在发抖，有的在尖叫，有的痛苦地一瘸一拐。"Liam," I said, "why are those pigs limping?" "Not my problem," he replied. So I looked into it.“利亚姆，”我问，“那些猪为什么一瘸一拐的？”他回答说：“不关我的事。”于是我决定自己去调查。Before I tell you what I learned, let me say I'm not here to tell you what to eat. In fact, I don't think this should be on you as an individual consumer at all. You never chose factory farming. When the factory farms came in and replaced the old family farms, they didn't tell you they were doing it. They didn't relabel the meat as "Now from miserable animals." They labeled it as "all natural" and "farm fresh."在告诉你我发现了什么之前，我必须先说，我不是来告诉你该吃什么、不该吃什么的。事实上，我认为作为个体消费者，这根本不应该由你来承担。你从未选择过工厂化养殖。当工厂化养殖取代传统家庭农场时，他们并没有告诉你。而且他们也不会把肉类贴上“来自悲惨动物”的标签，他们贴的标签是“纯天然”和“农场新鲜”。In fact, the industry has created an entire system to stop you from seeing how your meat is produced. They've even passed egg gag laws in US states to make it a crime to record conditions in factory farms. Which makes it all the more important that we see what they're trying to hide from us.实际上，这个产业建立了一整套体系，目的就是阻止你看到肉类是如何生产的。在美国，有些州甚至通过了所谓的“禁蛋法”，把拍摄工厂化养殖场的状况定为犯罪。这也使得我们了解他们刻意隐瞒的真相变得更加重要。So I'm going to show you images of three common factory farming practices. I deliberately didn't choose the most gruesome or out-there practices I could find. These are everyday realities involved in the production of most pork and eggs globally.所以，我将给大家展示三种常见的工厂化养殖方式。我特意没有选择那些最恐怖、最极端的案例，而是展示全球大多数猪肉和鸡蛋生产中每天都在发生的现实。Here we go. This is the gestation crate. This is why the pigs at the slaughterhouse were limping. They were female breeding pigs who had been confined to crates like these, unable to walk or even turn around for their entire pregnancies. Once they gave birth, they were moved to slightly larger birthing crates and then back into these crates to get pregnant again and again and again for years on end.来看第一种：这是妊娠栏。这就是为什么屠宰场里的猪会一瘸一拐。它们是母猪，一整个怀孕期间都被关在这样的铁栏里，无法走动，甚至无法转身。生下小猪后，它们会被转移到稍大一些的分娩栏，随后又被关回这些妊娠栏里，不断地再次怀孕，年复一年，周而复始。A friend of mine who worked undercover at a pig factory farm told me the worst thing he has ever done was to force these pigs back into their crates after they gave birth. They fought so hard not to go back in.我有一位朋友曾以卧底身份进入一家猪场工作，他告诉我，自己做过的最痛苦的事，就是把这些母猪在生产后强行赶回妊娠栏里。母猪拼命挣扎，不愿再回到那个铁笼。This is a photo I took of a battery cage on an egg factory farm. Most of the world's eight billion egg-laying hens, roughly one for every person alive on Earth today, are confined right now in cages like these, unable to so much as flap their wings.这是我在一个蛋鸡工厂农场拍摄的电池笼照片。全世界大约有八十亿只产蛋母鸡——差不多相当于地球上每个人对应一只——此刻正被困在这样的笼子里，甚至连扇动翅膀都做不到。

Today, I want to talk with you of the most important moral issues we never talk about. And that's factory farming.今天，我想和大家谈一谈一个我们几乎从不讨论、却极其重要的道德问题——那就是工厂化养殖。But first, I want to share with you the story of how I came to be here. I grew up in New Zealand, and yes, we had a sheep farm. It was small, 100 acres of rolling hills, and the sheep would graze the hillsides by day and then retreat to the hilltops to circle up and fall asleep at night. That's me, ready to farm right after my picnic.但在此之前，我想先和你们分享一下我为什么会站在这里。我是在新西兰长大的，我们家确实有一个羊场。它很小，只有100英亩的起伏丘陵。白天，羊群在山坡上吃草；晚上，它们会退到山顶，围成一圈进入梦乡。那就是我，野餐之后准备去放羊的样子。The sheep ultimately went to slaughter, but I always felt like at least they'd lived good lives and had quick deaths. Frankly, if I'm ever reincarnated as a sheep, which, as a New Zealander, is not unlikely这些羊最终都会被宰杀，但我一直觉得，至少它们过着不错的生活，死得也算迅速。坦白说，如果我有来世变成了一只羊——作为一个新西兰人，这其实并非不可能——I'd like to live their life. When I was a teenager, we traveled to Vietnam. And in the backstreets of Hanoi, I stumbled into a live-animal market. I still remember seeing the sight: stacks upon stacks of cages crammed full of animals, of every species, trembling in fear, staring out at me in distress. I was shaken. But when I returned to New Zealand, I figured things were different. I mean, you can see the cows and the sheep in the fields.我宁愿过它们那样的生活。少年时，我曾随家人去越南旅行。在河内的街巷里，我无意间闯进了一个活体动物市场。我至今仍记得那一幕：一层又一层的笼子里挤满了各种动物，它们因恐惧而发抖，眼神里充满了痛苦与绝望地望着我。我震撼不已。但当我回到新西兰后，我心想情况应该不一样吧，毕竟在田野里你随处都能看到牛和羊自在地活动。Still, I started to wonder how we treated the animals that you couldn't see. How in particular did we treat the pigs and the chickens? So I did what you did back then. I picked up a phone book and I looked up some pig and chicken farms. And one by one, I called and I naively asked if I could just come visit. And one by one, they told me no. They don't let anyone just visit.然而，我还是开始好奇那些我们看不见的动物究竟是如何被对待的。尤其是猪和鸡，它们的处境如何？于是我做了当时人们常做的事——我翻开电话簿，找到了一些猪场和鸡场。然后一个接一个地打电话，天真地询问是否可以去参观。结果，一个接一个的回答都是“不可以”。他们根本不允许任何人随便参观。Finally, I got hold of a major slaughterhouse and connected with a farm boy, let's call him Liam. Now, this slaughterhouse didn't do visitors either, but Liam and I bonded over sheep, and he agreed to get me in.最后，我联系到了一家大型屠宰场，并结识了一个农场小伙子，我们就叫他利亚姆吧。虽然这家屠宰场同样不接待访客，但因为我和利亚姆聊到了养羊，他与我建立了信任，最终答应带我进去。

I was excited to have longtime food and animal activist (and local Atlantan) Leah Garces, CEO of Mercy for Animals, join me in the WRFG studio to share interesting stories from her latest book “TransFARMation: The Movement to Free Us From Factory Farming.” In this 49-minute podcast (recorded July 2025), we discuss all kinds of animals, including many humans, who are affected by industrial animal agribusiness -- from animal farmers, to rural communities, to slaughterhouse workers (many of whom are immigrants), to pigs, chickens, and cows -- everyone fighting exploitation in this broken system. Since we all are part of this food system and are affected by factory farming, we are all involved in creating what Leah calls a “transFARMation.” Her book, and our talk today, is focused on how people are making this necessary and positive transition happen. We hope you'll be part of this movement to a just, humane, and sustainable foodsystem. TheTransFARMationProject.org is the website to explore this effort to positively transform the rural economy with Leah's nonprofit group Mercy for Animals. "In Tune to Nature" is a weekly hour-long radio show airing Wednesdays at 6pm Eastern Time on 89.3FM-Atlanta radio and streaming worldwide on wrfg.org (Radio Free Georgia, a nonprofit indie station) hosted by me, Carrie Freeman, or Melody Paris.

Gene Baur is the founder of Farm Sanctuary, a place of rescue, refuge, and adoption for hundreds of farm animals each year. Farm Sanctuary shelters enable visitors to connect with farm animals as emotional, intelligent individuals. Gene has also led campaigns to change laws about animal treatment and taken undercover photographs of farms, stockyards, and slaughterhouses, documenting deplorable conditions. His pictures and videos exposing factory farming cruelties have aired nationally and internationally, educating millions about the plight of modern farm animals, and his rescue work inspired an international farm sanctuary movement. Once called “the conscience of the food movement” by Time magazine, Gene walks the walk and talks the talk when it comes to food and animal rights. Jay and Gene discuss the political and cultural steps that will bring about the end of factory farming and a healthier approach to animals and food.

In this episode I speak with Thom Norman, co-founder of FarmKind, a nonprofit organization working to end factory farming through evidence-based giving. Thom shares his personal journey to veganism and why he left a legal career in nuclear energy policy to pursue systemic change for animals. He discusses the unique approach FarmKind takes in identifying and supporting high-impact charities, how donations can rival or even surpass individual dietary change in reducing animal suffering, and the importance of pragmatism in creating long-term shifts toward animal liberation. Thom also emphasizes how even small actions—whether donations or activism—can help dismantle a $2 trillion industry built on animal exploitation.

Peter Singer delves into difficult ethical questions regarding animal rights, the morality of factory farming, and difficult human-related ethical dilemmas.Singer discusses his views as a consequentialist, examining the impact of our choices on animal suffering, the ethical considerations around organ donation from anencephalic children, and the broader implications of such decisions.What are the moral implications of eating meat from factory farms versus ethically raised animals, and cannibalism under hypothetical scenarios with no harm to others?Singer emphasizes the need for considering the consequences of our actions, shedding light on the pressing need to reform our food production systems and make more ethical choices in our daily lives.Peter Singer's Substack: https://substack.com/profile/4270932-peter-singerPeter Singer's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@peter_singerPeter Singer's book, ‘Animal Liberation Now': https://www.amazon.com/Animal-Liberation-Now-Definitive-Classic/dp/0063226707[00:00] A Philosophical Dive into Animal Rights with Peter Singer[00:12] Exploring the Ethical Dilemmas of Human and Animal Lives[01:59] The Complexities of Organ Donation from Anencephalic Children[03:57] Comparing Human and Animal Rights in Medical Contexts[06:08] Consequentialism and Individual Case Analysis in Ethics0[7:42] The Ethical Quandaries of Parental Consent and Medical Decisions[15:54] Navigating the Slippery Slope of Euthanasia and Assisted Dying[25:41] The Ethical Considerations of Eating Meat and Factory Farming[33:29] The Harsh Realities of Factory Farming[34:45] Ethical Considerations and the Nature of Animal Suffering[36:50] Addressing Common Objections to Animal Rights[41:12] The Impact of Individual Choices on Animal Suffering[43:43] The Role of Vegetarianism and Veganism in Reducing Demand for Meat[01:00:46] Exploring the Ethical Implications of Consuming Expired or Discarded Meat[01:04:50] Concluding Thoughts and Reflections

We reframe the “egg crisis” (high prices and low supply of commercial hen's eggs in a bird flu outbreak) as a crisis of mass farming of animals, proposing sustainable alternative food solutions that can replace eggs and reduce the spread of zoonotic diseases, pollution, and the killing and harm of millions of wild and domesticated animals. Jennifer and Carrie discuss this in the context of the bird flu outbreak, as avian influenza is spreading and mutating in a variety of animal species (including cows used for dairy and human farm workers) – this infectious pathogen is an increasingly alarming issue for wild animals, farmed animals, and human health. The existence of factory farms keeps viruses circulating, making everyone less safe. We discuss how institutions can help us shift toward safer more humane, plant-based food systems. We end by discussing alternatives to eggs in your baking and cooking. Dr. Jennifer Molidor, Sr. Food Campaigner at the Center for Biological Diversity is host Carrie Freeman's guest on this 42-minute podcast, recorded in late March 2025.

Send us a textHow will we feed people living in the megacities of the 21st century, especially while confronting climate chaos and the depletion of fossil fuels and fossil water? According to the mainstream media: ecomodernism! Massive deployment of technology on factory farms and an extreme ramp-up of industrialization will save the day – right? RIGHT?!? If you read the New York Times, you might think that supermarket shelves will forever overflow with 3D-printed fish sticks, mylar bags full of genetically modified cheesy poofs, and faux corn dogs that ooze out of laboratory vats. Jason, Rob, and Asher question the wisdom of doubling down on industrialization in food and farming. It's no surprise they recommend paying attention to nature and ecological limits.

What if the solution to America's health crisis is buried in the soil beneath our feet? In this episode of Remnant Finance, Hans and Brian are joined by Kevin Muno, first-generation rancher and founder of Perennial Pastures Ranch.Kevin shares his remarkable journey from college baseball player to regenerative agriculture advocate, explaining the principles behind soil health and discussing the controversial world of raw milk. From his initial permaculture experiments to managing thousands of acres of rangeland, Kevin provides insights into how properly managed grazing can transform degraded landscapes.The conversation explores how regenerative practices not only create healthier ecosystems but also produce meat with superior nutritional profiles compared to conventional farming. The discussion extends to investment opportunities in regenerative agriculture and how consumers can support this growing movement.Journey to Regenerative Ranching: After a baseball career-ending injury, the path to regenerative agriculture began with permaculture and homesteading, eventually growing into a cattle operation on 16,000 acres of leased land in San Diego County.Regenerative Agriculture Principles: Conventional farming practices have degraded soil quality, while regenerative methods rebuild soil health through animal integration, plant diversity, and maximizing photosynthesis. This approach mimics natural ecosystems to create nutrient-dense food while healing degraded landscapes.Factory Farming vs. Regenerative Practices: The conversation contrasts conventional factory farming with regenerative practices, highlighting how properly managed cattle create healthier meat with optimal omega-6 to omega-3 ratios (sometimes as low as 0.8:1 compared to the Standard American Diet's 16:1).Raw Milk Revolution: The history and benefits of raw milk are discussed, including plans for launching a dairy herd share program. The group explores how government agencies have disproportionately targeted raw milk producers despite their strong safety records.Investment Opportunity: Expansion through ranch acquisition and regeneration is underway. Using advanced technologies like satellite imagery and walkover weighing scales allows for precise management decisions years in advance, creating resilient operations even in drought conditions.▶️ Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction and Background03:00 - Baseball Career and Transition to Agriculture09:00 - Permaculture and Gardening Beginnings14:00 - How Regenerative Agriculture Heals the Land21:00 - Military Health and American Nutrition Crisis26:00 - Managing Land with Animals and Crops32:00 - Single Focus vs. Diversity in Farming34:00 - Factory Farming vs. Regenerative Practices39:00 - Nutrient Density in Food43:00 - Raw Milk History and Benefits52:00 - Government Overreach in Food Regulation59:00 - Regenerative Ranching Investment Opportunity01:12:00 - Advanced Metrics and Drought-Proofing Techniques 01:20:00 -  How to Support Perennial Pastures RanchCheck out Kevin's regenerative ranching work and explore his nutrient-dense food offerings at https://campsite.bio/perennialpasturesranch - your gateway to better health through better agriculture!Got Questions?

Send me a messageFactory farming isn't just an animal welfare issue—it's a major driver of climate change, biodiversity loss, and public health risks. In this episode of Climate Confident, I speak with Thom Norman, co-founder of FarmKind, to break down the true environmental costs of industrial animal agriculture and explore solutions.We discuss:✅ How factory farming contributes up to 19% of global greenhouse gas emissions, primarily through methane, deforestation, and fertiliser use.✅ The inefficiencies of animal agriculture—80% of cropland is used to feed livestock, yet it provides only 17% of global calorie intake.✅ The role of antibiotic overuse in factory farming and its link to rising antimicrobial resistance.✅ Why shifting to alternative proteins—such as plant-based and cultivated meat—could significantly reduce emissions and land use.✅ The effectiveness of corporate campaigns in driving industry-wide change, such as the transition away from caged eggs.We also discuss consumer choices and why the focus shouldn't just be on individuals but on systemic change—better policies, clear food labelling, and investment in sustainable food innovation.If you're interested in supporting impactful organisations tackling factory farming, Thom shares how FarmKind helps direct funding to the most effective charities.

I don't think climate change is going to wipe out all life on Earth (as 35% of Americans say they believe) or end the human race (as 31% believe). Nor do I think it's going to end human life on Earth but that human beings will continue to exist somewhere else in the universe (which at least 4% of Americans would logically have to believe). Nevertheless, I think global warming is among the worst things in the world — if not #1 — and addressing it should be among our top priorities.

In this episode, we talk to Thom Norman. He is trailblazer in the fight against factory farming and the founder of FarmKind—the first organization to use research-backed insights from GivingMultiplier.org to address this critical issue. FarmKind helps donors maximize their impact by splitting contributions between expert-recommended charities tackling factory farming's effects on animals and the planet, and their own favorite causes, with bonuses to amplify both. Thom's work is revolutionizing philanthropy to create a more humane and sustainable world.During this episode, we explore how Thom transitioned from the courtroom to advocating against factory farming, shedding light on its profound environmental and ethical impacts. He shares thought-provoking insights on greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and the psychological toll of our food choices. We also dive into the innovative work of FarmKind, from leveraging psychology to amplify the impact of ethical donations to collaborating with chefs to transform supply chains.

Seems like the human race never learns. We just got through one massive, global pandemic that killed many millions of people. Now, fears surrounding Bird Flu are making headlines like: Experts Warn of Bird Flu Pandemic As Signals of Mutation Mount. That from ScienceAlert. SciTechDaily's headline reads: Alarming Mutation in H5N1 Virus Raises Pandemic Red Flags. The article goes on to say: "A recent study published in Science and funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has found that a single alteration in a protein on the surface of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus—currently present in U.S. dairy cows—could significantly increase its potential for human-to-human transmission." And, now, the USDA is going be testing cow's milk! NBC News reports: "The mandate targeting bulk milk transporters and dairy processors is meant to help identify herds that have caught the virus, which has spread among livestock." So, what happens when they find Bird Flu? They've already killed millions of exposed chickens by baking them to death in a cruel mass-killing process called Ventilation Shutdown!  Are they going to bake the cows to death too? Would it be too crazy to suggest that humans should just stop torturing and killing 92 BILLION ANIMALS for food every year in dangerously cramped industrial factory farming systems? Here to discuss is Free From Harm's Robert Grillo and Amber Canavan, PETA's Vegan Campaigns Project Manager with UnchainedTV host Jane Velez-Mitchell.

In this conversation, Thom Norman from FarmKind discusses the critical issues surrounding factory farming, its impact on animal welfare and climate change, and the importance of charitable donations in addressing these challenges. He emphasizes that individuals can make a difference without necessarily changing their diets and highlights the global perspective on factory farming, including the role of EU policies and the progress being made in animal welfare advocacy. TAKEAWAYS: FarmKind helps tackle factory farming through charity recommendations. Factory farming refers to industrial agriculture with large numbers of animals. Animal agriculture significantly contributes to global emissions. Changing diets is not the only way to make an impact. Donating to effective charities can offset dietary impacts. Factory farming is growing rapidly in Asia and Latin America. EU policies have mixed effects on animal welfare. There are innovative solutions to reduce animal suffering. Progress in animal welfare is being made despite industry challenges. Elevating animal voices is crucial in advocacy efforts. Episode cover picture made with Designer. Powered by DALL·E 3.

This is a link post. 80,000 Hours recently updated our problem profile on factory farming, and we now rank it among the most pressing problems in the world. We're sharing the summary of the article here, and there's much more detail at the link. The author, Benjamin Hilton, published the article with us before moving on to a new role outside of 80k back in July, so he may have limited ability to engage with comments. But we welcome feedback and may incorporate it into future updates. Summary History is littered with moral mistakes — things that once were common, but we now consider clearly morally wrong, for example: human sacrifice, gladiatorial combat, public executions, witch hunts, and slavery. In my opinion, there's one clear candidate for the biggest moral mistake that humanity is currently making: factory farming. The rough argument is: There are trillions of farmed animals, making [...] The original text contained 1 footnote which was omitted from this narration. --- First published: October 29th, 2024 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/goTRwb49riDvXGdy8/factory-farming-as-a-pressing-world-problem --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.

Most of the animal food products you buy come from what are called factory farms. That includes beef, chicken, turkey, and pork, as well as eggs and dairy products. The animals in these “farms” live miserable lives in horrible conditions and have a one-way ticket to the slaughterhouse. Compassion in World Farming is an organization dedicated to ending factory farming and to educating people about animal welfare, air, water and land pollution, human health and social justice, issues which are inextricably intertwined in factory farming. My guest in this program is Allie Molinaro, who was campaigns coordinator for Compassion in World Farming when we recorded this show. She is now Campaigns Manager.

It's the summer after graduation, and Munir Hachemi and his friends G, Ernesto, and Álex leave Madrid for an idyllic summer picking grapes in the French countryside—because, as Munir writes in the sixth edict of his “decalogue of decalogues about experience as literary capital”: “What sets a novelist apart is having a unique worldview as well as something to say about it. So try living a little first. Not just in books or in bars, but out there, in real life. Wait until you've been scarred by the world, until it has left its mark.” But the scars end up a little deeper than Munir anticipated. There's no grape harvest—thanks to climate change—and the four friends end up working alongside the “etcetera of Europe” at a series of nightmarish factory farms where they do everything from injecting monstrous chickens with mysterious vaccines to artificially inseminating genetically modified corn. At least, that's the premise of Hachemi's 2018 novel, Living Things, published earlier this year in an English translation by Julia Sanches. But how much of this tale is really fiction? And what's the point of fiction in an inhumane world anyway? Munir Hachemi joins us in the studio to talk about storytelling, machismo, and going vegan.Go beyond the episode: Living Things by Munir HachemiSome of Hachemi's inspirations include Artificial Respiration by Ricardo Piglia, Tomás Downey, María Sonia Cristoff, Pablo Katchadjian, Emiliano Monge, and, of course, Borges Tune in every (other) week to catch interviews with the liveliest voices from literature, the arts, sciences, history, and public affairs; reports on cutting-edge works in progress; long-form narratives; and compelling excerpts from new books.
