A Well-Fed World is a hunger relief and animal protection organization working with grassroots groups in the U.S. and internationally on feeding and food production programs. At the policy level, we promote nutritious plant-based foods as an animal-friendly, environmentally-friendly and efficient way to create a healthier, well-fed world for all.

  • Cultivating Risks - China and Animal Ag

    In an era of rising temperatures, moving away from animal agriculture could help China alleviate drought and food insecurity while cutting greenhouse-gas emissions, writes Mia MacDonald of Brighter Green.

     

    Over the past three decades, China has done an impressive job of ensuring national food security. However, intensification of animal agriculture means that “the livestock sector enters into more and direct competition for scarce land, water, and other natural resources”, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

  • Livestock #1 Cause of Global Warming

    "The environmental impact of the lifecycle and supply chain of animals raised for food has been vastly underestimated, and in fact accounts for at least half of all human-caused greenhouse gases (GHGs), according to Robert Goodland and Jeff Anhang, co-authors of "Livestock and Climate Change" in World Watch Magazine.

  • 2012 Farm Bill - Factory Farm Subsidies

    The 2012 Farm Bill will allocate about $300 billion over the next five years. (It was more than $280 billion in 2008.)

     

    Reforming the Farm Bill is one of the most important steps for creating structural change and healthy food systems.

     

    AWFW is working with food, farm, animal, and environmental justice organizations to redirect subsidies away from factory farms and toward programs that support nutritious foods and sustainable farming.
