Compassion in World Farming has a long history of active engagement with the United Nations (UN) for the benefit of animals, people, and the planet. We participate in several UN fora, programmes and frameworks promoting food systems transformation, with a specific focus on sustainable animal agriculture.

We concentrate our efforts around specific topics, such as sustainable development, climate action, sustainable nitrogen management, sustainable livestock transformation, antimicrobial resistance, and animal welfare.

In 2024, our Global CEO, Philip Lymbery, was appointed to the UN Food Systems Advisory Group, where he actively advances a holistic approach and solutions that benefit the health and welfare of people and animals within planetary boundaries.
