Farming for the FuturePew Commission on Industrial Farm Animal Production The independent Pew Commission on Industrial Farm Animal Production (PCIFAP) was formed to conduct a comprehensive, fact-based and balanced examination of key aspects of the farm animal industry. Commissioners come from the fields of veterinary medicine, agriculture, public health, business, government, rural advocacy and animal welfare. Over a two-and-a-half-year period, the PCIFAP, in consultation with other national experts, conducted an assessment of the industry's impact on public health, the environment, farm communities and animal health. On April 29, 2008, it issued a comprehensive report of its findings, including practical recommendations that have been made available to policymakers, industry stakeholders and the public. PCIFAP is a project of The Pew Charitable Trusts and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. CLF supported the Commission with technical assistance and administrative support. |
