Husbandry Institute and the issues:

At Husbandry Institute, our efforts and commitment to develop market demand and foster accessibility of meats raised by ecologically just and socially sustainable practices means that more families will live in safe environments with access to clean water and soil, and be able to find meat raised with care to be healthy and nutritious. It also means that consumers and retailers will be able to make conscious choices to avoid harmful food and easily find meat that is free of antibiotics, chemical growth hormones, and lower in unhealthy fats. As important as this is to you, your family and friends, these are often choices for employees, customers, and the environment too.

Bringing back responsible farmers together:

The dramatic decline in the number of family run farms and ethical animal agriculture continues while the environment is polluted and human nutrition suffers. This is extremely alarming and Husbandry Institute is committed to bridging the disconnect between our American values and food supply. Industrial animal confinement operations that subvert social values, not only by grossly mistreating farm animals but by dumping toxins into our food supply and the environment cannot continue when consumers are able to make choices.

We can all help to improve access:

With responsive distribution networks that support regional animal farmers who practice responsible land stewardship, we can get more sustainable meats into restaurants and grocery aisles around the country. When we choose to buy sustainably raised meat and foods, we each help to create more, higher quality livelihoods for everyone working in the United States.
