Regenerative agriculture offers a transformative future vision for the US food system. Can regenerative approaches succeed without centering domesticated farmed animals?
Addressing the ongoing problems of climate change, human hunger and inequality, and animal exploitation in our food system starts with sustainable agriculture.
Meat alternatives come in many forms, some novel and others with a long history of traditional uses. In any form, alternative meat has a promising future nourishing human societies while respecting animals and the environment.
It is important to transform food systems at global and local levels to reduce GHG emissions, improve ecosystem health, respect animal welfare, and re-balance rural economies.
Industrial agriculture is threatening its own future, and ours along with it. Sustainable plant-based food production can become a way of healing our earth, our communities, and our health.
Worldwide, roughly 70 billion animals are raised and slaughtered each year within the food system. Producing so many animals comes with a high price for us, for animals, and for our planet. These costs make the UN Sustainable Development Goals much harder to achieve.
To cultivate dignity, justice, and sustainability in the food system, Stray Dog Institute provides nonprofit allies with funding, strategic research, and opportunities for collaboration. Together, we hope to build a more compassionate world for people, animals, and the environment.
