Excerpt from humaneworld.org

BELEM, Brazil— A pioneering framework to help financial institutions align their financing and investment activities with sustainable food systems that prioritize plant-based foods has been launched at the UN Climate Change Conference in Brazil by a coalition called the FARMS Initiative. Comprising Humane World for Animals, World Animal Protection and Compassion in World Farming, the FARMS Initiative announced the release of its Responsible Minimum Standards for the Protein Shift at an official side event. The standards provide a practical roadmap for mitigating the climate, biodiversity and public health risks associated with animal agriculture while supporting a just transition toward sustainable protein sources.
