Now, we’re publishing the latest in our Deep Dive series, exploring how Tyson tried to greenwash their image, what we learned from scrutinizing their public documents, and how FarmSTAND uses the law to hold polluting corporations accountable. Check out the Deep Dive➡️ farmstand.org/case/deep-di...

Deep Dive: Tyson’s Climate Deception - FarmSTAND

Most people want to eat food that is good for them and the planet. As awareness of the climate crisis grows, eaters have become more concerned with making sustainable food choices. But many consumers…

What the "ultra-processing" category does is provides a massively oversimplified heuristic for guiding food choices that amplifies - rather than soothes or solves - our anxiety-ridden relationship to food, potentially driving confused consumers to counter-productive choices.

Drones have become an incredibly powerful tool to expose animal cruelty. But a new Trump administration rule could make it much harder to fly them over farms.

Are you about to begin your legal studies? In the middle of them? Know someone who is currently a law student? In my latest column for @justiaverdict.bsky.social, I offer some advice about how to use (and at least as importantly, not use) AI. 👇

I pulled 1,000 articles from a meat industry trade publication. Of those, 30% contained negative information about the meat industry in the headline: breaking the law, diseases running rampant, workers' rights being violated, even child labor!!

On today's episode of Knowing Animals, I speak to @jandutkiewicz.bsky.social about Feed the People (2026, @basicbooksgroup.bsky.social, with Gabriel Rosenberg). We discuss food systems, UPFs, animal ag, and more. Available below or in usual podcast places! knowinganimals.libsyn.com/episode-252-...

The FAA is considering whether facilities in the food and agriculture sector should be able to restrict drone flights above their property. This could shield factory farms and slaughterhouses from one of the few tools available to document the mistreatment of animals. Act now: bit.ly/faa-comment

Some ppl in my intellectual community don't agree with me but I believe it's important to have a prosperous economy. & one of my master theories about the world is that we squander SO much of our natural resource base on animal agriculture, which is not economically important. 1/

🐯 What prevents the full realisation of animals’ moral status, & how can those barriers be overcome? 🇬🇧 The 11th Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics Summer School is exploring this and other topics this week. 🗨️ @alicediconcetto.bsky.social & @gabrielakubikova.bsky.social are among the speakers.

Given the staggering inefficiency of conventional beef production—which requires feeding up to 100 calories to a cow to produce just one calorie of beef—Singapore’s approval of cultivated beef is a critical milestone in shaping a brighter and more secure food future for the region and beyond 👏

Aleph Farms secures regulatory approval in Singapore. It's the fifth #cultivatedmeat product approved for sale in Singapore, and the first for cultivated beef in the country. Restaurant introductions expected in 2027: www.greenqueen.com.hk/aleph-farms-...

Demand for shark fishing bait has slammed Florida’s cownose rays. Fishing effort and landings have multiplied by 3-4X over the past 10 years and recoveries that took decades are reversing. Tomorrow, FWC votes on whether to intervene. Submit a comment today: fishdefender.org/FWCcomments

As the Trump administration continues its push to gut the Endangered Species Act (ESA) via multiple regulatory changes, AWI is grateful to Reps. Fitzpatrick and Quigley, who have introduced the bipartisan Safeguarding Endangered Species Act (H.R. 9901).

Lots of misleading and incorrect facts get spread into the mainstream, especially around climate and animal welfare. We could fact-check and bemoan the inaccuracy or we could sit back, take notes, and figure out how to get accurate facts into the zeitgeist. Link in comments

🚨 Animals are running out of time 🚨 The FDA Modernization Act 3.0 would push the agency into accepting proposals to replace cruel, outdated experiments on animals—but it needs a final Senate vote NOW. Tell your senators: pass this lifesaving legislation. www.peta.vg/48ad

URGENT: Ask the Senate to Save Animals, Pass the FDA Modernization Act 3.0!

Tyson and other meat corporations have a stranglehold on Americans’ dinner plates; but they don’t control the truth. Tyson said it was selling “climate-smart” beef under the label “Brazen Beef.” They got one thing right — it was brazen to call beef from a huge, industrial feedlot “climate-smart.”

Good news! The FDA's new draft guidance could reduce monkey testing for some cancer drugs. Now we need to make sure it goes even further. Tell the FDA to prioritize human-relevant methods over animal tests. Submit our template letter by 31 July: www.ad-international.org/animal_exper... #NAMs #FDA

New research suggests marigolds have traits that may make them particularly well suited to the plant protein market.

And wouldn't that be terrible? Imagine: all those horrid ecosystems, full of dirty creatures, returning to the land.

Most rough grazing pasture land couldn’t support any other type of farming. If we stopped using it for raising livestock, the only option would be to turn it back into forest.

California has approved $500 million for its Kitchen Infrastructure and Training Programme, allowing schools to spend the funding on plant-based foods and milks. 🍽🌱 https://veganfta.com/articles/2026/07/25/californias-500-million-school-kitchen-fund-opens-to-plant-based-food/

When I discuss huge systemic issues, people say "but what I can I do?" When I mention something meaningful you can do immediately, people say (as the replies here show) "but what's the point, in the face of the huge systemic issues?" There are, it seems, plenty of people who want to be helpless.

It's a point I've been trying to make for a long time: there is no good way to meet even 10% of current demand for animal products. They trash the living world, whichever way you do it. If you want to reduce your impact, switch to a plant-based diet. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
