Compassion in World Farming was founded in 1967 by Peter Roberts, a British dairy farmer, in response to the development of intensive livestock production. In his lifetime, Compassion was instrumental in the legislative bans on barren battery cages, veal crates, and sow stalls in the UK and in Europe, and in Europe achieved recognition that animals are sentient beings. Today, we are the leading international farm animal welfare charity, campaigning to end factory farming, to improve the lives of farm animals, prevent the collapse of nature, and create the conditions for a liveable future. Our established international Food Business programme aims to drive transformational change for animal welfare enabled by a reduction in the reliance on animal sourced foods and a shift towards regenerative farming. The Food Business team operates in Europe, the US, China and APAC/LATAM, and more globally through the supply chains of our corporate partners driving change through positive engagement with the global food industry.
