Thanks Daniel and sorry for the delay in our reply!

I assume you mean our ICAP impact measurement? Or do you refer to something else?

I think ICAPs could be adapted to your circumstances, yes. We actually adopted them from AAC and Hive started using ICAPs as well. However, I would recommend you focus on measuring the most important parts of your ToC. For us, movement and capacity building is at the core of our mission, so we should measure outcomes and impact in this area. For you, it may be more important to focus on the different aspects of your cage-free ... (read more)

Thank you for laying out these plans Karolina and for all the work you do!

We'd like to add to the following point:

There will likely be new promising organizations and projects coming out of incubators — estimated RFMF over the next 12 months: $500k

We're running a training programme that is very similar to Welfare Matters', just focused on Africa. We pivoted to this intervention last year based on our experience of working with early stage orgs / advocates that were in the process of starting their orgs - most importantly Daniel Abiliba / AWL and Paul ...

We're unsure, but our guess would be in the EA space, there will not be many organizations that aren't internationally registered despite working in LMICs.

Thank you for your comment. We appreciate critical questions and thoughts!

Of course, changes in farmed animal numbers might be quite different than projected. We are relying on projections from the FAO, since this is the only dataset we are aware of where animal numbers have been modelled globally until 2050. Needless to say, there are a lot of uncertainties and assumptions involved in such modelling. Precise numbers should thus be taken with caution. However, we think that the overall trend suggested by the data (i.e. Africa vs. other world regions) shoul... (read more)

Thank you for your comment. Those are very relevant questions! They are also quite complex and hard to give a clear answer to. Some thoughts below.

1. We have not conducted a detailed analysis on the trajectory of Nigeria vs. China. This seems like an interesting avenue for further research though, as Nigeria is one of the countries to watch out for. Quickly comparing meat consumption vs. GDP per capita over time via Our World in Data suggests that meat consumption per capita in Nigeria will be significantly lower than for China at comparable income levels. Th

Thank you for your comment. Very insightful to hear about your direct experience in Uganda and how animal production is changing "right before your eyes"!

This is exactly the kind of development we are concerned about and are trying to address. Just like you, we are very uncertain about the quality of animal lives under subsistence farming. But we do think that a shift towards factory farming would be a massive net harm for animals.

Of course, farmed animal numbers might rise even faster than shown in our analysis, as you suspect. We are relying on projectio... (read more)
