Gene Baur, Farm Sanctuary President and Co-founder, presents “Ethical and Sustainable Food Choices” a thought-provoking look at the profound impacts of our food choices. Speaking from decades of experience, Baur’s nonjudgmental approach appeals to a wide variety of audiences, ranging from legislative and agribusiness groups to schools and religious and social organizations. He discusses the problems with industrial animal agriculture and encourages people to make thoughtful food choices that are aligned with their values and interests. He believes we are in the midst of a burgeoning food movement and that growing awareness is creating positive change.
A pioneer in the field of undercover investigations of factory farms, Gene Baur has been hailed as “the conscience of the food movement” by Time magazine. His book, Farm Sanctuary: Changing Hearts and Minds About Animals and Food, a national best seller, examines the modern farm industry and how it impacts the lives of humans, animals, and the environment.
