The Humane League

Animal agriculture is estimated to contribute 14-18% of global emissions, with some estimates much higher. This sector is more harmful emissions-wise than airplanes, cars, trains, and buses combined.

Not only is industrial animal agriculture environmentally damaging, it is also torturous for the animals involved.
The Humane League persuades individuals and organizations to adopt behaviors that reduce farmed animal suffering. They are headquartered in the U.S. but they operate globally, with a team based in Japan as well as independent charities in the U.K. and Mexico.

THL also works to build the animal advocacy movement internationally through the Open Wing Alliance, a global coalition founded by THL whose mission is to end battery cages globally. It is a very conservative estimate that THL can spare 10 animals from a torturous life in industrial agriculture for each $1 received.

Good Food Institute

The Good Food Institute is an international nonprofit working to transform the global food system away from conventional animal agriculture by promoting the development of competitive alternatives to animal-based meat, eggs, and dairy.

Conventional meat production causes harm to our environment, suffering for billions of animals, and presents risks to global health. GFI is laser-focused on accelerating the development of the entire alternative protein ecosystem and bringing these planet-friendly foods to global consumers swiftly. GFI is stewarding new scientists and entrepreneurs, securing fair regulatory frameworks, and championing open-access research. They have regional teams working in India, Europe, Brazil, Asia Pacific, and Israel.
