About FAI 

FAI offers practical direction and solutions for a better food system. We work with global food companies to improve animal health and welfare, restore vitality in our essential ecosystems, and develop greater resilience on our farms and in our communities.  

Food production takes up almost half of the planet's land surface and has impacted every ocean fishery. As a result, farms, fisheries and food companies are under extreme pressure to respond to the twin crises of biodiversity loss and climate change.   

We believe food production can and must be part of the solution. 

FAI have offices in England, Norway, Brazil and the US and a regenerative farming enterprise in Oxford, UK.
