Innovate Animal Ag facilitates the development and adoption of new technologies that improve animal health and welfare


Innovate Animal Ag is a 501(c)3 nonprofit think tank that promotes technology as a practical way to solve the biggest challenges in farmed animal welfare. We conduct and publish research on cutting edge technologies in animal agriculture that improve farmed animal welfare and also offer concrete benefits to farmers. We then facilitate the adoption of these technologies through directly working with agricultural producers that are interested in better meeting the demands of the modern consumer.

Technology is powerful because it eliminates tradeoffs - it can allow us to continually improve the lives that animals live on farm, while protecting the livelihoods of farmers and maintaining the abundance of our food system.

Our Philosophy:
The last few decades of industrialization in animal agriculture have led to an unprecedented period of abundance in our food system. More people than ever have access to a practically unlimited supply of affordable, safe, and nutritious animal protein.

Yet this abundance hasn’t come without costs. Most people in our society care about the welfare of animals, and polls consistently show that Americans want animals on farms to be handled respectfully and responsibly. Yet when informed of practices that are commonplace on industrial farms, a vast majority of people express discomfort. Peoples’ assumptions and expectations around animal welfare are often disappointed by the realities of how animal agriculture currently works.

As a result, our society has had to start grappling with how to navigate the tradeoff between maintaining a safe, affordable, nutritious supply of animal protein, and maintaining the respect and care that everyone believes animals deserve. Heated debates have started within businesses, in our government, and in the media. With vociferous advocates on both sides, the conversation has become polarized, being too often framed as activists versus farmers, welfare versus affordability. 

We believe that the best solution is not to choose either animal welfare or an abundant food supply, but to leverage technology to have both.

The Lessons of Climate Tech:
The challenge of climate change is remarkably similar to the challenge of animal welfare. To use the language of economists, both are unpriced externalities: unplanned consequences of industrialization whose costs are not directly paid by producers or consumers, and hence are not inherently incentivized to be improved. No one wants the climate to change, yet it happens anyways. Similarly, no one wants a farm animal to be treated poorly, yet it happens anyways.

When it comes to climate change, the most promising practical solutions are technologies like solar panels, electric vehicles, improved batteries, and carbon capture. These technologies are powerful because they eliminate tradeoffs - they allow us to maintain the prosperity brought about by economic growth, while simultaneously mitigating the harms of climate change. 

Despite the similarities with the climate space, technology is an under discussed and underinvested in as a solution to animal welfare. Information is often difficult to impossible to find, and few champions actively push solutions forward. 

Our mission is to change this. Instead of continuing to grapple with how much we as individual consumers or business are willing to personally sacrifice for animal welfare, we can use technology to eliminate the tradeoff. By expanding what’s possible, technology allows us to preserve the abundance brought about by industrialized animal agriculture, while simultaneously bringing animal welfare in line with the expectations and demands of the modern consumer. 

Our Work:
Innovate Animal Ag was founded with the goal of helping companies develop and commercialize technologies that help meet the expectations and demands of the modern consumer around animal welfare. We do this by:
- Promoting technology as a practical solution to animal welfare
- Conducting research on cutting edge, science-backed, technologies in animal agriculture, then creating resources for businesses, policymakers, and the media
- Directly supporting the companies developing and implementing the most promising technologies, such as in-ovo sexing

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.
