Mission
Sentient is the only nonprofit, nonpartisan news organization solely focused on factory farms and their effect on climate, animals, workers, clean water, public health and rural communities.
Founded in 2018, Sentient’s content is fact-checked and science-driven, with reporting that serves readers, especially those in frontline rural communities, who are interested in the impacts of what they eat on animals, climate, water and their local economy.
Our content is available free of charge, without a paywall or advertisers. Our donors and board have no editorial influence on content.
Through training and partnerships, Sentient also works to boost informed media coverage of factory farming. Our report conducted with Faunalytics found that 93 percent of climate media ignores the impact of meat on greenhouse gas emissions. This report reached over 700 million people — and over 700 reporters and academics attended our launch event for the study.
