How Non-Vegan Restaurants Could Help to End Factory Farming

Umami House, a new restaurant in Sydney, Australia, has partnered with FarmKind, a nonprofit dedicated to ending factory farming. Through this collaboration, Umami House will make donations to high-impact farming reform charities each time a beef or bacon order is sold, without passing the cost on to consumers. The donations are determined using FarmKind's Compassion Calculator and are directed towards expert-recommended causes.

The model aims to provide a solution for non-vegan restaurants looking to support more ethical food practices while still offering consumers their favorite meat products. Umami House believes in improving the animal industry by funding organizations that drive real change and improve the lives of animals. FarmKind encourages other food businesses and conscious consumers to follow Umami House's lead and make similar donations when selling or consuming animal products, as offsets are affordable and can make a significant difference in reducing animal suffering in the food system.
