Compassion in World Farming is a Haslemere-based nonprofit in England focused on farm animal welfare. Founded in 1967 by a British farmer appalled by the rise of intensive factory farming, the organization pursues a peaceful, targeted campaign to end cruel practices in farming. Its work engages policymakers, industry actors, and the public to raise welfare standards across farming systems. In 2025, CIWF International launched the Business Benchmark on Farm Animal Welfare, which ranks 150 global food companies on their animal welfare policies and performance. These initiatives reflect a focus on evidence-based advocacy and collaboration to influence policy and industry practices.
