The global home for scientific evidence on animal agriculture and its role in our health, our communities and our planet 

Welcome to the Real Food Research Hub

Facts - rather than ideology and untested theories - are needed now more than ever before.


The Real Food Research Hub is the global home for scientific evidence on animal agriculture and its role in our health, our communities and our planet.

It is a collation of high quality, peer-reviewed scientific research from around the world on the products and practices of animal agriculture and how it relates to human diet and health, to environmental sustainability and the societies in which we live.

This extensive resource has been developed by the scientific community to ensure that evidence-based, science-led information is available for research, education, policy making, industry development and innovation.
