Our newest research report, Alt Protein for Good: Plant-Based Alternative Protein in the United States outlines ways to build momentum for inclusive food system change and ensure the broadest and deepest benefits from alternative proteins.

Non-scientists in leading meat producing and consuming nations watered down IPCC’s calls for diet change away from animal consumption, showing the harm of letting power shape public narrative.

While seaweed can reduce methane production by farmed cattle, it cannot offer a feasible climate alternative to reducing animal farming.

Political ecology, with its interdisciplinary roots and emphasis on power dynamics, offers valuable insights and perspectives for advocates fighting industrial animal agriculture.

Shifting the legal paradigm to recognize nature's rights can support food system reform for the common good.

International climate change gatherings have begun to acknowledge the climate impact of animal farming. Will recent recognition translate to action?

Regenerative agriculture offers a transformative future vision for the US food system. Can regenerative approaches succeed without centering domesticated farmed animals?

Intensive agriculture in the US damages the environment, wastes natural resources, drives climate change, and harms both animals and humans.

Agroecology provides a pathway for the intersectional transformation of food systems.

Sustainable food production can provide multiple win-wins for human wellbeing and environmental health.

Organic agriculture can contribute to building a more sustainable food system.

Climate change and extreme weather threaten the future of US food production. What actions can be taken to put our food system on a better course?

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.

Sustainable farming offers solutions to the economic, environmental, and animal welfare concerns of our industrial food system.

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.

The rise of industrial agriculture has built agribusiness empires while endangering human, animal and environmental health. To bring the SDGs within reach, we must confront the challenge of achieving a sustainable food future.

Our current industrial food system is a primary driver behind many of the underlying problems described by the SDGs. To achieve the SDGs, we must transform food production and food consumption into forces that strengthen, rather than weaken, global progress toward sustainable development.
