Humane Foundation is calling for a kinder world for animals, humans, and the planet—starting on your plate. The truth about factory farming is clear: it damages the environment, puts human health at risk, disrupts rural communities, and subjects animals to confinement and chronic stress.
Livestock farming drives deforestation, heavy water use, soil degradation, and greenhouse gas emissions, while billions of animals are raised in systems that treat profit as the priority. At the same time, many animal products are linked to higher risks of chronic disease and antibiotic resistance.
Humane Foundation also highlights a global hunger reality: nearly a third of global crops are used for livestock. Redirecting resources toward direct human consumption could help feed millions more people.
Why plant-based choices matter
Choosing plant-based meals can reduce suffering and lower your environmental footprint while supporting health when planned well.
