Compassion in World Farming has produced a wealth of useful materials on the many interconnected issues surrounding our global food system.

Books

Our Global CEO, Philip Lymbery, has produced three books.

The Sunday Times No. 1 bestseller Farmageddon: The True Cost of Cheap Meat documenting an investigative journey behind the closed doors of the factory farming industry.
Dead Zone: Where the Wild Things Were which examines the horrifying impact of factory farming on some of the world’s most iconic wildlife species.
His latest work, Sixty Harvests Left, takes its title from a chilling warning made by the United Nations that the world’s soils could be gone within a lifetime.
Philip has also co-edited Cultivated Meat to Secure Our Future, Hope for Animals, Food Security and the Environment. This thought-provoking book explores the potential of cultivated meat in beating climate change and extinctions.
Regenerative Farming and Sustainable Diets, co-edited by our Ambassador Emeritus Joyce D'Silva and Special Advisor Carol McKenna, is believed to be the first of its kind to explore the power of regenerative farming, together with sustainable diets, to transform the global food system.

reports, briefings and position papers

We have also produced a substantial number of reports, briefings, position papers and other useful materials on issues including the need to reduce meat consumption, why octopus factory farming should not be developed; a charter for a regenerative food policy; the hidden costs of industrial agriculture; and alternative proteins.

working in partnerships

Working in partnerships with other organisations - including the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and the Aquatic Life Institute – we have produced high-profile reports and we are keen to collaborate with like-minded NGOs and other international organisations.

Extinction or Regeneration

The Extinction or Regeneration Conference in 2023 provided a platform for experts to share solutions for how we can transform our food and farming systems for better animal, human and planetary health.
