Farm animal protection is an unexplored sector, and is seldom seen as a long-term career option. The insufficient interest and support from premier public and private institutions has created a vast talent pool gap. What is often overlooked is that the maximum suffering of and impact on animals and people is centred around farm animal issues. While it lies at the intersection of environment protection, climate change mitigation, nutrition, food and water security, public health, livelihoods and labour welfare, it continues to work in silos.
The primary objective of the Farm Animal Protection Leadership Programme is to serve as a framework to strengthen the Indian farm animal protection movement and bring together its allies for a sustainable future.
Vision: Our vision is to create united, talented and skilled leaders who will transform India in its endeavour to create a compassionate and sustainable future.
Mission: Our mission is to enable farm animal protection through values-aligned leadership in the sector.
Participants will be able to:
- Learn from the foremost global leadership and farm animal protection experts
- Network with the brightest peers in the farm animal movement
- Build coalitions with allied movements
- Explore purpose-driven high-impact career opportunities
