Tl;dr - This is a curated and useful list of farmed animal advocacy resources that came out in 2023. We (Impactful Animal Advocacy) sent this compilation out in our free bi-weekly newsletter and thought it might be helpful to others in the EA community.
There is is not a comprehensive collection of all resources, but if we missed any that you found significant from 2023, feel free to add as a comment.
