The American Humane Certified label is familiar to many consumers. The program was established in 2000 and is now applied to 15-20,000 American farms and ranches every year. Before that seal ends up in the grocery aisle, a comprehensive set of standards must be reviewed, put into action and audited. Over the past 20 years, American Humane has worked with dozens of scientists and auditors and thousands of producers to establish a set of best practices for raising farm animals that are founded in scientific research.

Behind the Label is a new series from HRN that transports listeners from the grocery store aisle to the farm - explaining what it means for broiler chickens at Springer Mountain Farms, and all animals, to be raised humanely.

Farm Forward is the rare animal rights group that doesn’t advocate for veganism. Instead, its programs focus on ending animal suffering on factory farms and developing agricultural systems and markets that prioritize animal welfare.
