On this edition Your Call’s One Planet Series, we're discussing How Factory Farming Ends, a 10-part series from Vox that delves into the animal rights movement’s fraught relationship with the climate and public health communities, the environmental impact of animal farming and how some of the world’s largest environmental nonprofits collaborate closely with the meat and fast-food industries on projects that some critics consider greenwashing.
"The sheer scale of this system defies comprehension. Every year, humans kill 80 billion land animals — 10 times more than there are people on Earth — and an even larger, poorly tracked number of fish.
Our hope is that these stories will challenge policy leaders and the broader public to imagine a kinder, saner, truly sustainable food system."
