Sentient

Mission

Sentient is a nonprofit news organization that publishes stories and solutions to explain factory farms and their effect on climate, animals, public health, politics and more.

About our journalism

Founded in 2018, Sentient’s content is fact-checked and science-driven, with reporting that serves readers who are interested in the impacts of what they eat on animals, climate, water, conditions for workers — and so much more.

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.
