Compassion in World Farming (CIWF) has campaigned for farm animal welfare for over 50 years. Their corporate engagement, legislative advocacy, and consumer campaigns have produced measurable welfare improvements globally.
Compassion in World Farming represents the longest-running and arguably most impactful farm animal welfare advocacy organization globally. Their model of corporate engagement alongside legislative advocacy has produced a track record of measurable welfare improvements affecting hundreds of millions of animals. The EU veal crate and battery cage bans that resulted from decades of CIWF campaigns stand as the largest-scale farm animal welfare improvements in history. The corporate engagement approach, engaging food companies through their supply chain commitments, reaches animals in ways that consumer-focused campaigns cannot because it requires industry structural change rather than individual consumer behavior change. Supporting CIWF is one of the most evidence-based ways to improve farm animal welfare.
