Creating lasting systems change for farmed animals in India
Problem
Across India, millions of animals suffer in industrial farming systems that prioritize efficiency over welfare. Battery cages, overcrowding, and poor living conditions cause immense suffering while contributing to public health concerns and environmental degradation.
Solution
PFA takes a multi-faceted approach across poultry (cage-free transition), dairy (regulation enforcement), pigs (standardized welfare procedures), and fish (welfare standards partnerships). They engage with institutional consumers, producers, and government agencies.
How They Work
PFA engages at every level of the food supply chain. They work with producers (training farmers in cage-free and humane practices), institutional consumers (securing cage-free commitments from major hotel chains and food companies), and government agencies (enforcing animal welfare regulations). They have established model cage-free farms in 7+ states as demonstration sites, trained over 1,500 farmers, and driven 5,000+ enforcement actions in the dairy sector.
Why We Recommend
The EA Animal Welfare Fund has identified farm animal welfare advocacy in India as an exceptionally cost-effective area. PFA's multi-pronged approach — combining farmer training, corporate engagement, and government enforcement — creates systemic change that improves conditions for millions of animals. Their work on the cage-free transition alone has the potential to benefit hundreds of millions of hens.
