✨ ASPCA Awards 18 Fund-a-Farmer Grants to Help Build a More Humane Farming System🌱🐄 Since 2017, the ASPCA has partnered with Food Animal Concerns Trust (FACT), an organization that works to ensure all food-producing animals are raised in a more humane and healthy manner. FACT’s Fund-a-Farmer grants award farmers who want to obtain or who already hold a meaningful animal welfare certification, as well as to farmers who are improving their animals’ access to pasture. FACT has awarded 695 grants, totaling over $1.3 MILLION to improve farm animal welfare, expand higher welfare farming practices and support work benefiting an estimated 1 million animals since 2012. This year, the ASPCA funded 18 of the grants, bringing our total supported farms through FACT to 128! These grants are vital for creating a more humane farming system, providing necessary resources like adequate fencing, food, water, and other higher welfare practices to ensure farm animals lead better lives. The ASPCA is dedicated to building more opportunities for farmers across the country so they can transition to higher-welfare systems, despite the financial challenges. FACT’s grant programs are a fantastic start, but the demand is high — they received over 600 applications this year alone! Let’s keep supporting humane farming together!
