- CIWF U.S. Executive Director Matthew Dominguez sat down with the Canary in a Cornfield podcast to discuss the biggest driver of food waste on the planet: factory farming. Listen on Spotify, Apple, or Substack here: canaryinacornfield.substack.com/.../season-2... #food #factoryfarming #agriculture
- We’re using more water than the planet can replace, says @unuinweh.bsky.social – and factory farms are making it worse. CIWF Research & Policy Advisor Dr. Tayla Hammond outlines what this means for food security. Sign our open letter: bit.ly/4rrJU2t
- NY followers — this is your chance to protect octopuses from factory farming. 🐙 Tell your state reps to support the bill banning octopus farming in New York. Share with people you know in NY so they can take action too! How to help: bit.ly/3ZpAhVO #BanOctopusFarming #NYAction
- Turning edible crops into feed and then into meat is one of the least efficient ways to feed a growing population.
- You don’t have to be perfect to make a difference. Every meal is a chance to support a better food system.
- As a major winter storm brings snow and ice to the U.S. this weekend, remember this: factory farming drives climate change, fueling more extreme weather events that harm communities, animals, and food systems. Read our Climate Doom Loop report -> bit.ly/4oN4Zn4
- Reminder: Factory farming is a major driver of climate pollution, water contamination, and biodiversity loss.
- CIWF U.S. Executive Director Matthew Dominguez spoke with The Gumbo Pot Substack about the Farm Bill, animal law in the U.S., and the future of animal welfare in our food system. Read the full Q&A here: thegumbopot.substack.com/p/colombia-the-empa…
- CIWF USA executive director Matthew Dominguez recently sat down with @ourhenhouse.org to discuss how welfare reforms can act as a gateway for farmed animal protection. Listen to the full episode here: bit.ly/3LBFWor

- All I want for Christmas is to end factory farming.
- @usdagov.bsky.social is the largest food purchaser in the federal government—spending billions each year for schools, food banks, & more. New bill proposes aligning USDA food purchases with values of fairness, health & sustainability. @markey.senate.gov @adams.house.gov bit.ly/48Jjdj7
- THANK YOU 🙏 @markey.senate.gov & @adams.house.gov for introducing the EFFECTIVE Food Procurement Act to leverage BILLIONS spent on food by @usdagov.bsky.social to help build a fair, healthy & sustainable food system! bit.ly/48Jjdj7
- THANK YOU 🙏 @markey.senate.gov & @adams.house.gov for introducing the EFFECTIVE Food Procurement Act to leverage BILLIONS spent on food by @usdagov.bsky.social to help build a fair, healthy & sustainable food system! bit.ly/48Jjdj7
- @usdagov.bsky.social announced a regenerative ag program—and highlighted a dairy it previously investigated for animal cruelty. Thank you to @thenewlede.bsky.social for reporting on this. Read more: bit.ly/4iT9XfH #USDA #AnimalWelfare
- @usdagov.bsky.social just announced $700M for "regenerative agriculture"—but chose a farm with CONFIRMED animal abuse as its poster child. Our statement on today's #MAHA announcement & why it's factory farm regen-washing, not real reform. 👇
- “Soil is the frontline of Earth’s recovery.” Our CEO @philip_ciwf breaks down why soil health is central to climate, food security & biodiversity in this new @pass_blue op‑ed: passblue.com/2025/12/07/why-soil…
- Today is World Soil Day! Soil is the foundation of our food and ecosystems, but it's under threat from, you guessed it, factory farming. We need to invest in regenerative farming that nourishes the land and feeds people sustainably, and scrap industrial agriculture for good.🌱
- When we fight for farmed animals, we fight for a future where no animal is treated as a machine. This Giving Tuesday, your gift goes 2X further thanks to a generous $25,000 match. 🐖💚 Their future starts with you: ciwf.com/GT2025
- A major win for animals and voters! 182 House Democrats just backed Prop 12 and demanded Congress reject efforts to roll back animal welfare standards. #CompassionWins #Prop12 #AnimalWelfare
- This Thanksgiving, let’s ask: are we feeding families—or factory farms? Nearly 70% of U.S. grain goes to animals in industrial systems, not "people." Our latest op-ed in @commondreams.org -> commondreams.org/opinion/feed... #FactoryFarming #FoodWaste #AnimalWelfare
- You check every label—but the real danger isn’t listed. 😡 Drugs like ractopamine + carbadox are banned abroad but still used here. Now, Big Ag’s “Save Our Bacon” Act would block state food safety laws. 🛑 Tell Congress: bit.ly/3Lp6dpK
- You can read every label and still miss the danger. Drugs like ractopamine aren't listed—and Big Ag wants it illegal for states to warn us. Local food safety laws matter. Don’t let them take that power away. -> bit.ly/3Lp6dpK
- Factory farming impacts animals, people, and the planet—and talking about it can feel overwhelming. We just released a guide to help you start the conversation with research-backed methodology: bit.ly/49KU5JE #factoryfarming #animalwelfare #plantbased
- We're at #COP30 this week, sharing the stories of farmers like Paulo Ricardo Castoldi, whose livelihood has been hit by flooding, caused, in part by the climate crisis.
- Rebalancing industrial animal farming cuts emissions, limits disease risk, protects biodiversity, and strengthens food security, reminding us that human, animal, and planetary well-being are inseparable. Our latest op-ed for @commondreams.org #COP30 bit.ly/4qSTImw
- 😳 There’s something in your pork the FDA doesn’t want to talk about. TAKE ACTION to protect food safety: bit.ly/3Lp6dpK #pork #pigs #foodsafety #animalwelfare
- Live from DC: more than 200 farmers gathered to meet with Congress and share their opposition to the EATS Act and support for #Prop12. This morning, they are hosting a rally in front of the Capitol. #farmers #animalwelfare #agriculture
- 🚨NEW UNDERCOVER FOOTAGE🚨 This is the cruel slaughter method the world’s first octopus farm @PescanovaCorp plans to use. Ask your policymakers to keep them wild: bit.ly/4o6N8GJ ⚠️ Distressing content #WorldOctopusDay
- Two new op-eds from our team this week: 📢 In The Washington Times, we break down #Prop12 and why it matters for animals and democracy. 📢 In @commondreams.org, we expose how the pork lobby’s power grab puts farmers and voters at risk.
- Farmed animals don’t belong on the climate sidelines. At Climate Week NYC 2025, Compassion in World Farming made sure they weren’t. Check out the full roundup of our involvement: 🔗https://www.ciwf.com/media-and-news/blog/farmed-animals-take-the-spotlight-at-climate-week-nyc-2025/

- Animal welfare progress isn’t stalling—it’s accelerating. - Nearly 50% of eggs are cage-free - 40%+ of pork from crate-free systems - Nearly 1B chickens set to benefit from reforms 📢 Read our latest rebuttal in Meatingplace: meatingplace.com/animal-welfa...
- CIWF US is at #ClimateWeekNYC! 🌱 Join us as we highlight how animal welfare & food system transformation are essential to climate solutions. Follow for updates from our events all week! #ClimateAction #AnimalWelfare
- Politicians bragged about who makes the “best pork” at a hearing on Prop 12. But before pork is a product, it’s a pig—smart, social, and stuck in a cage. Tell Congress: Oppose the #SaveOurBaconAct. 🐷 #Prop12 #AnimalWelfare #FactoryFarming
- CIWF was in touch with @gaeacabico.bsky.social regarding a Welfare Footprint Institute report highlighting that slower-growing chicken breeds suffer much less than those bred to grow unnaturally fast. Full story from @sentientmedia.org: sentientmedia.org/slower-growi...
