Theories of Change

How the farm-animal-welfare movement tries to bend the world, cataloged by the mechanism each program bets on.

What It Does

A lot is made of quantifying the extent to which various programs improve the welfare of animals but I wanted to explore the broader picture of how each of those programs contribute to the larger social and moral movement to meaningfully change the treatment of animals in our society in the long term.

How it works

This is heavy AI research and commentary based on curated lists of every theory of change I could find. This and the funding analysis are interesting but incomplete but may be able to fuel future projects and more detailed recommendation or action.
