As an editor and reporter covering factory farming, I’m asked all the time by friends, family, and readers what it will take to stop this system. The truth is that I have no idea — nor does, really, anyone. Lots of smart people have tried lots of creative ideas over the years, with only limited success. So I wanted to assemble a roster of writers with diverse, clashing theories of change to look squarely at the depth of the challenge and propose useful ideas for moving forward. The resulting project was a monumental effort, including work from three Future Perfect staff writers, eight outside writers from journalistic, academic, and advocacy backgrounds, two breathtakingly talented artists, and behind-the-scenes contributions from many, many more people across Vox. We think you’ll find the stories challenging, inspiring, and — despite the grave subject matter — hopeful. If you find journalism like this valuable, consider supporting us by becoming a Vox Member.
