Update: 2022-01-24
Description
Welcome to Episode 060 of the Plantarion Podcast. Letha Coughlin talks with Gene Baur, President and Co-Founder, Farm Sanctuary.
Hailed as “the conscience of the food movement” by TIME magazine, Gene Baur has campaigned extensively since the mid-1980s to raise awareness about the abuses of industrialized agriculture and our system of cheap food production. A pioneer in the field of undercover investigations and farm animal rescue, Gene has visited hundreds of farms, stockyards, and slaughterhouses, documenting the deplorable conditions. His pictures and videos exposing factory farming cruelties have aired nationally and internationally, educating millions about the plight of modern farm animals, and his rescue work inspired an international farm sanctuary movement.
Gene was instrumental in passing the first U.S. laws prohibiting inhumane animal confinement and continues working on systemic food industry reforms. His work has been covered by major media outlets including ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, the New York Times, LA Times, and Wall Street Journal among others. He has published two bestsellers, Farm Sanctuary: Changing Hearts and Minds About Animals and Food (Simon and Schuster, 2008) and Living the Farm Sanctuary Life (Rodale, 2015).
