“With the damage factory farms cause to the environment, workers, our food system and ultimately human health, it is easy to see that the industry is heading towards a financial reckoning.”
Evan Segal, Former Chief Financial Officer,
U.S. Department of Agriculture
Why are more and more investors
avoiding factory farming?
Financial
Risk
Factory farming is subject to increasing regulation and the industry faces continued financial disruption, with increasing competition from plant-based and cultivated meat alternatives.
Environmental
Destruction
The livestock sector has unprecedented environment impact, and ranks as a leading cause of greenhouse gas emissions, catastrophic pollution, and excessive water consumption.
Animal
Cruelty
Factory farming is the single greatest cause of animal suffering. The industry has a long history of abusive practices - and consumers are demanding more ethical choices.
There is no future
in factory farming
Investors are focused on alternative proteins and cultivated meat. Factory farming is inherently more risky, costly and increasingly unnecessary.
