electricity and the advent of information technology. The End of
Animal Farming persuasively argues that the next revolution will be
a global transition to non-animal meat and milk. The animal-free
food revolution will save the world, and this book is leading the
way.”

useful road map for ending it.”

animal-free food system, including its environmental benefits. It

for undergraduate and graduate students, readers curious about the
topic, and advocates interested in ensuring that their actions are
effective.”

studies at New York University
“Jacy Reese expertly integrates information and arguments from a
wide range of sources to present a compelling and inspiring vision
for how we can end animal farming—and the many harms it causes—once
and for all. Highly recommended for anyone who cares about the
future of this planet for humans and nonhumans alike.”
—Jeff Sebo, clinical assistant professor of environmental studies
and director of the animal studies MA program at New York
University
“Our food system causes suffering for literally trillions of
animals, making animal farming one of the great moral issues of our
time. Indeed, the extent of the problem is so great that it often
feels intractable. Jacy Reese lays out a big-picture comprehensive
assessment of the situation. He shows that history and current
developments are on the side of moral progress. At the same time,
he lays out concrete priorities and actionable items that will help
society to move forward. For anyone who feels frustrated with our
global food system, this book is a must read.”
—Joshua Tasoff, associate professor of economic sciences, Claremont
Graduate University
