Hi, we're FACT

...or Food Animal Concerns Trust.

At FACT we believe all food-producing animals will be raised in a humane and healthy manner, and that everyone should have access to safe and humanely-produced food.

How do we do this? By supporting humane farmers, promoting policies that make foods from animals safe and healthy to eat, and helping consumers make informed food choices.

You can learn more about FACT on our website.
