International nonprofit ending the abuse of animals raised for food.

The Humane League (THL) is a global animal protection nonprofit that exists to end the abuse of animals raised for food. Through corporate negotiations, grassroots activism, and policy work, they drive meaningful change across the food industry that reduces the suffering of billions of farmed animals. Their evidence-based approach and dedication to institutional and individual change have made them one of the most effective animal protection organizations worldwide.

**Corporate Impact** The Humane League's corporate negotiations and pressure campaigns have transformed the food industry's treatment of animals. Alongside their partner organizations, THL has fought for—and secured—over [3,000 commitments](https://thehumaneleague.org/article/owa-3000-commitments?utm_medium=blog&ms=c_blog) from companies to spare chickens from abuse. This includes over [2,600](https://chickenwatch.org/progress-tracker/) cage-free welfare commitments and over [625](https://chickenwatch.org/progress-tracker/) broiler welfare commitments by restaurants, bakeries, supermarkets, drugstores, and other foodservice and hospitality businesses. Of these cage-free commitments with a deadline of 2024 or earlier, [92%](https://openwingalliance.org/2025-cage-free-fulfillment-report) have been successfully fulfilled. And, in the US, THL’s work has helped increase cage-free production since 2015. As of 2025, over 45% of the US egg-laying flock is cage-free vs. only 5% when THL started conducting cage-free campaigns in 2015. That 40% difference accounts for an estimated 120 million egg-laying hens per year in the US who will never face life in a cage.

**Global Movement Building** The Humane League founded and leads the [Open Wing Alliance](https://www.openwingalliance.org) (OWA), a global coalition of 90+ animal protection organizations across six continents. The power of the OWA is changing the way the world’s biggest companies treat animals and setting a new standard for corporate animal welfare policies locally—in every major market—and globally. 

**Policy & Legislative Change** Through the [Animal Policy Alliance](https://animalpolicyalliance.org/) (APA), The Humane League works to enact meaningful change for animals through legislation and policy. The APA organizes and empowers an alliance of 30+ local and state-level animal advocacy groups across the US to create relationships with legislators and advocate for policies that benefit animals.

**Evidence-Based Approach** The Humane League grounds all work in research and evidence to maximize effectiveness. Their strategic focus on institutional change creates scalable improvements for the largest number of animals possible, while building momentum for continued progress. Through corporate negotiations, strategic activism, policy advocacy, and movement building, they're creating transformative change for animals in the food system.

Developing the roadmap for a sustainable, secure, and just global protein supply 🧫🌱


Check out what your support makes possible at gfi.org/your-impact. 

The Good Food Institute (GFI) is a global network of nonprofit organizations developing the roadmap for a sustainable, secure, and just protein supply. Industry alone will not meet this challenge at the scale or speed we need. GFI is accelerating the transformation of the food system by identifying solutions and mobilizing resources to make alternative proteins the default way meat is made.

GFI is a network of nonprofits around the world strategically based in the most critical economies for alternative protein advancement. In Asia, Europe, Brazil, India, Israel, and the U.S., GFI’s teams are mobilizing the international community to use markets and technology to replace harmful practices with ones that are better for the climate and biodiversity, for food security, and for global health.

GFI’s Focus
As a nonprofit, GFI is uniquely positioned to accelerate the transition to alternative proteins by focusing on three programmatic priorities:

-Cultivating a strong scientific ecosystem | GFI’s science and technology teams map out the most neglected areas that will allow alternative proteins to compete on taste and price. GFI meets these challenges by developing open-access research and resources, educating and connecting the next generation of scientists and entrepreneurs, and funding research that benefits alternative protein development across the sector. 

-Influencing policy and securing government funding | GFI’s policy teams ensure that alternative proteins are a part of the policy discussion around climate change mitigation and global health. In every region where GFI has a presence, teams advocate for government funding and incentives to transition to alternative proteins and are paving the way for the approval of novel proteins such as cultivated meat.

-Ensuring industry prioritizes alternative proteins | GFI’s corporate teams are creating a transformation of our global meat supply. GFI works to replicate past market transformations by showing companies of all sizes, from startups to multinational corporations, how alternatives to animal products can be profitable while meeting environmental, social, and governance goals.

Reimagining meat
The very real threats of climate change, global food insecurity, antibiotic resistance, and pandemics require us to imagine a different future of food. Alternative proteins are the solution that will securely and sustainably feed the world.

GFI’s global community of scientists, policy experts, and corporate specialists are creating a world where alternative proteins are no longer alternative.
