FACT regards factory farming, the raising of large populations of livestock and poultry in confined conditions, as not only inhumane for animals but also as a major factor behind important public health problems, the deterioration of rural communities, and environmental pollution.

FACT's response is primarily focused on humane farming and public health and is expressed through research, advocacy and education activities.
