Farmed Animal Investments and Global Well-being
Established in 2015 by Jeremy Coller, the FAIRR Initiative has grown into a global network of over 400 investors overseeing around $75 trillion in assets. FAIRR focuses on the risks associated with intensive animal agriculture, including its contributions to climate change, resource depletion, biodiversity loss, and public health concerns. By offering comprehensive research, such as the Coller FAIRR Protein Producer Index, FAIRR equips institutional investors with the necessary tools to integrate these considerations into their investment strategies, promoting a shift towards more sustainable food production systems
Exploring the Landscape of Animal Advocacy in Egypt: Insights into Stray, Wildlife, and Farmed Animal Rights
This article examines the landscape of animal advocacy in Egypt, a nascent and growing field in one of Africa’s largest economies and most densely populated countries. It focuses on three types of animal advocacy: 1) stray animal welfare, 2) wildlife conservation, and 3) farmed animal welfare. The paper critically analyses current practices and trends in each of these areas, highlighting the main challenges and opportunities facing the growth of the movement. Our research draws on insights from interviews with active animal welfare organizations, situating their practical experiences, daily operational struggles, as well as instances of success, within Egypt’s wider socio-economic context. The research identifies socio-cultural perceptions, legal, and financial obstacles as the primary challenges to the movement\u27s growth. Additionally, our research suggests that advocacy for farmed animal welfare represents an underfunded and underexplored area of study in Egypt and north Africa, which stands to benefit from collective efforts to mobilize funds, build awareness, and engage communities, particularly younger communities. We conclude by proposing key recommendations for the sustainable growth of the animal advocacy movement, ensuring it is integrated into both institutional and local social practices. We believe this research fills a critical knowledge gap and has significant potential to inspire further studies from the region

Humane strategies like fertility control, habitat protection, and non-invasive monitoring offer effective solutions for managing wild horse populations. These science-based approaches help maintain ecological balance while preserving the cultural significance of wild horses
How To Message Plant-Based Diets And Products In Southeast Asia: A Social Media Analysis
This study will employ social listening analysis to identify key beliefs and misconceptions for South East Asians around plant-based diets and alternative proteins. It will use this rich understanding to recommend messaging strategies to address current misconceptions and inspire diet change. The details of the preregistration are provided in an uploaded PDF. It was adapted from the standard OSF Pre-registration template, which does not apply well to qualitative research
