The Compassionate Farming Education Initiative is a 501c3 non-profit organization based out of southeast Florida. CFEI is committed to educating the public about humane and sustainably-farmed foods, ushering in a new era of conscious consumers and empowering them to choose from a place of total control and awareness. Our aim is to reach out to existing non-profits in the realms of environmental preservation, dietary/nutritional wellness, animal rights advocacy, and other related groups. In partnership with these organizations, we will standardize a national experiential curriculum that will educate the public in the following areas:

1. Current factory farming practices and their impact on our health and the world
2. The potential dangers of genetically modified foods
3. Healthy and sustainable food alternatives that are local, convenient and affordable
4. The direct global impact of our food choices

Via partnership with farm sanctuaries, people will have the opportunity to deeply connect with farm animals on location. Where sanctuaries are not readily accessible, we will offer an alternate curriculum designed for distribution to schools, medical establishments, community centers, etc. These services will be at no cost to the consumer, through private funding.

If your organization would like to become affiliated with CFEI, please contact us at info@compassionatefarming.org. We will include you as a resource in our network.
Thank you for your contribution to making this world a kinder and healthier place to live!
