GiveWell spoke to Ms. Jones as part of its investigation of the cause of farm animal welfare. Ms. Jones described the Animal Welfare Institute's work on farm animal issues, which spans the full production cycle of raising animals for food, from animals' lives on farms, to transport, slaughter, and the labeling and marketing of animal products. AWI mainly works on policy at the federal level, especially on regulations, and it administers a high welfare certification program called Animal Welfare Approved. The conversation also covered the field of farm animal protection at large – positive changes, promising approaches, and other organizations involved.
