Climate grief is a real thing, and it’s been significantly amplified the past few years. But as climate-fueled disasters wreak unprecedented devastation across the globe, at the same time that the U.S. withdraws from the Paris Climate Agreement, bans the use of terms like “climate change,” “climate crisis,” and “climate science” on government websites, and […]
We are living in an increasingly water stressed and water scarce world, with dire implications for ecosystems, economies, and communities worldwide. Scientists have recently warned of an alarming and unprecedented escalation in global drought and aridity over the past few decades. A 2022 UN report found that since 1970, weather, climate and water hazards accounted […]
The ongoing avian influenza (bird flu) outbreak has seen egg prices soar, averaging around $5 per dozen in January 2025, and running as high as $15 per dozen in some places. Since the start of the outbreak in 2022 (2020 in Europe), more than 160 million farmed birds have been killed or “culled” in the […]
In 2024, the world experienced its hottest year on record. For the first time, the global average temperature reached 1.6°C above preindustrial levels, surpassing the critical 1.5°C threshold needed to curb accelerating climate change. The impacts of climate change are now evident across every continent. Animal agriculture and food systems are responsible for up to […]

In order to feed a growing global population, the United Nations has projected we will need to produce at least 50% more food by 2050 without using any more land. At the same time, we will need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture by two-thirds in order to meet the minimum climate targets to […]
Last month, the world’s leading body of climate scientists, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), published the fourth and final installment of a rigorous multi-year assessment that marks their most dire and urgent climate analysis to date.

Have you ever heard the claim that 86% of animal feed is inedible to humans? This statistic is often used to imply that animal farming merely uses the waste from farming human food.
