We are thrilled to announce that Greener Pastures Chicken has committed to the Better Chicken Commitment (BCC), the leading set of standards for improving the welfare of chickens raised for meat. 🐔✨ Every year, over 9.5 billion chickens are raised for meat in the US, almost all live in needless cruel and filthy conditions. The BCC is the benchmark for ensuring their well-being. By adopting higher-welfare systems and healthier, slower-growing breeds, Greener Pastures Chicken is setting a powerful example for the industry. Julia Johnson, US Head of Food Business at Compassion in World Farming, says, "We are proud to see Greener Pastures Chicken make this commitment and transform the lives of chickens in its supply chain for the better." Cameron Molberg, Founder of Greener Pastures Chicken, adds, "The Better Chicken Commitment ensures we are holding ourselves accountable to the highest standards while also meeting consumer demand for more humane chicken." Join us in celebrating Greener Pastures Chicken's commitment to more humane and responsible chicken farming!

Ending factory farming. Ending animal cruelty. 🐖🐄🐑🐓🐟
About us
Compassion in World Farming was founded in 1967 in England by a British farmer who became horrified by the development of intensive factory farming. Over 50 years ago he decided to make a difference and take a stand against this farming system. In his lifetime, Peter Roberts saw the demise of veal crates and gestation crates in the UK, and in Europe achieved recognition that animals are sentient beings and secured a ban on the barren battery cage and gestation crates for sows (except for the period up to four weeks into pregnancy). Compassion in World Farming is dedicated to reforming a broken food and farming system and introducing a more humane, fair, and sustainable one. Our US office is based in New York City and is headed up by our US Executive Director, Ben Williamson.

"Put simply, the inadequate solutions put forth by Big Ag cannot outpace industrialized farming's negative impacts on the planet. While seaweed and methane vaccines may address cow burps, they don't address carbon emissions from deforestation or manure emissions of nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas over 270 times more powerful than CO2. They also don't address the nitrate water pollution from manure, which can sicken people and cause massive fish kills and harmful algal blooms; biodiversity decline from habitat loss, which has dropped 73% since the rise of industrialized animal agriculture; freshwater use, drying up rivers and accounting for over a quarter of humanity's water footprint; or pesticide use on corn and soy feed, which kills soil microorganisms that are vital to life on Earth."
