Broiler chickens are growing faster than ever before, causing serious health concerns. These fast-growing breeds experience more pain due to physical challenges including bone stress, heart disease and heat stress.

Roughly a third of all greenhouse gas emissions are driven by food systems. Meat in particular is the largest driver of those food-related emissions. Yet the vast majority of media coverage of the climate crisis overlooks this critical sector, according to Sentient's analysis.
